Indonesia’s “eased restrictions” are a Trojan horse for U.S. dependency on foreign minerals while our own reserves sit locked by red tape. The $17.9B trade deficit with Indonesia in 2024 proves Washington’s addiction to outsourcing critical resources instead of unleashing domestic production. Why is America negotiating mineral deals abroad when we have untapped nickel, lithium, and cobalt reserves held hostage by EPA overreach and permitting delays?

The Biden-era strategy of relying on foreign supply chains left us vulnerable—now bureaucrats are doubling down by offering joint projects instead of cutting domestic regulatory fat. Every dollar funneled into Indonesian mines is a dollar stolen from revitalizing American mining towns.

Secure our supply chains HERE, not through deals that enrich foreign sovereign funds while D.C. pretends it’s “strategic.”
