Discussion on r/environment: In its hunt for critical minerals, the US is misconstruing what is and is not America’s
✦ Editorial Summary

This misinterpretation stems from a lack of clear criteria for what constitutes domestic or foreign-sourced materials. As a result, the country's efforts to secure critical minerals may be hindered by unclear definitions.
