Bill 118 HRES 1082, also known as the "Calling upon the International Seabed Authority to adopt regulations allowing the collection of critical minerals from the international seabed area" bill, aims to address the issue of securing reliable and responsible supply chains for critical minerals in the United States. The bill calls upon the International Seabed Authority to adopt regulations that would allow for the collection of critical minerals from the international seabed area.
The collection of critical minerals from the international seabed area is seen as a way to enable America to regain reliable and responsible supply chains for these essential resources. By tapping into these mineral resources, the United States can reduce its dependence on other countries, particularly the People's Republic of China, which currently dominates the critical mineral supply chain.
In addition to securing a stable supply of critical minerals, the bill also aims to create high-wage jobs for United States citizens. By investing in the collection of critical minerals from the international seabed area, the United States can create new opportunities for American workers and boost the economy.
Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1082 seeks to address the issue of supply chain security for critical minerals in the United States by advocating for the adoption of regulations that would allow for the collection of these resources from the international seabed area. The bill highlights the importance of reducing dependence on foreign sources, particularly China, and creating new economic opportunities for American workers.
