Apart from the dominance of China/ China/ China as the Report out lines ( and I hope TRUMP is all over this from the 20th Jan ) , this extract might add to ASM's already " mou partnership " with EXIM .
Or will it be reported by ASM in the Quarterly , as "just another positive initiative " , in ASM's strategy ....which is becoming a rather repetitious mantra ! As a famous AFL COACH once said ...'don't say ..DO !"
Export-Import Bank of the United States Board of Directors Approves Supply Chain Resiliency Initiative to Protect U.S. Jobs and Shift Critical Mineral Supply Chains Back to the United States and Away from the People’s Republic of China (January 8, 2025, Source) — The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) Board of Directors approved a new financing tool, the Supply Chain Resiliency Initiative (SCRI), aimed at reducing U.S. dependency on China for critical minerals and rare earth elements. This initiative supports U.S. manufacturers by securing supplies from trusted international partners, thus bolstering American manufacturing and national security. SCRI facilitates financing for projects that supply essential minerals for key technologies such as battery storage and semiconductors, ensuring these materials are processed within the U.S. and benefitting American workers and businesses. Congressional leaders support SCRI as a crucial step to enhance U.S. competitiveness and reduce economic vulnerabilities by fostering domestic production and onshoring of key industrial processes.
