Bloomberg is reporting that the US has developed a critical minerals price floor system. It's working to gain support from partner countries for the new system that was developed by multiple agencies to help alleviate the pressure on the US and its allies from foreign market manipulation.

President Trump is scheduled on Thursday to travel to Georgia, where he will talk about affordability issues, and a new critical minerals facility in the state, which is part of the US--Japan trade deal that was struck last year.

Finally, in Wyoming, the state is considering legislation that would use some excise tax revenues for an "energy dominance fund." The bill would create a grant and loan program supporting fossil fuel, uranium and rare-earth minerals production. The bill is supported by the White House, which said it should be used as a model for other states.
