What this bill would do
This bill establishes the Strategic Resilience Reserve Corporation of the United States, a wholly owned government corporation. The Reserve is designed to create a more secure and stable supply chain for critical minerals and materials. It aims to reduce reliance on foreign entities, specifically targeting the market dominance of the People's Republic of China. The corporation will be overseen by a seven-member Board of Governors appointed by the President. This Board will manage various financing and acquisition tools to support domestic and partner country production. An authorization of $2,500,000,000 is provided to carry out these functions.
