CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has made headlines again by calling for a sharp increase in domestic mineral production, citing national security and economic independence as key priorities. Speaking at a recent rally, Trump emphasized the need for the United States to reduce dependency on foreign sources for critical minerals used in electronics, defense systems, and green technologies.
Trump criticized current energy policies, claiming they leave the U.S. vulnerable to geopolitical disruptions and trade imbalances. He proposed fast-tracking permits for mining and incentivizing private sector investment in domestic mineral extraction. Industry leaders are watching closely, as such a move could reshape America’s resource strategy in the coming years.
In the same speech, Trump also hinted that a “Ukraine peace deal is coming very soon.” Without offering specific details, he claimed to be in touch with key figures and said the conflict could be resolved quickly under the right leadership. While critics question the feasibility and authenticity of his claims, his remarks have sparked global curiosity and media buzz.
These twin announcements—one focusing on domestic energy resilience and the other on international diplomacy—are seen as early positioning moves for the 2024 U.S. presidential race. Trump’s approach signals a return to his “America First” doctrine, blending economic nationalism with assertive foreign policy rhetoric.
As reactions pour in, both supporters and opponents are dissecting the impact of these proposals on U.S. industry, global stability, and Trump’s political ambitions.
