Leveraging US-Africa critical mineral opportunities: Strategies for success
Brookings
2025.09.30
The U.S. is highly dependent on imports of critical minerals, but existing supply chains are vulnerable, plagued with high geographic concentration, slow mine development, and under-researched reserves.
The authors argue for why Africa is uniquely positioned to partner with the U.S. in a supply chain realignment, given the former’s significant reserves, existing mining and refining infrastructure, and business opportunities along development corridors.
With other countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, and the European Union entering into the African critical minerals sector, the U.S. should not be left behind.
The authors provide actionable recommendations to both the U.S. and African countries for creating and growing a mutually beneficial critical minerals partnership.
