The U.S. government has committed billions of dollars in support of the critical minerals initiative.
Multiple U.S. government agencies and White House fact sheets show federal programs and laws have directed multi‑billion‑dollar investments into critical‑minerals and related battery/mineral supply‑chain activities (examples include “nearly $20 billion” in grants/loans for batteries and battery materials cited by the Department of Commerce and multiple DOE funding announcements and DPA actions totaling hundreds of millions to billions). Therefore the State Department’s statement that the U.S. has “already committed billions of dollars” toward the critical minerals effort is accurate: available federal documents and agency announcements confirm multi‑billion commitments toward critical minerals and related supply‑chain development.
