Sen. Shaheen on SECURE Minerals Act: An effort to reduce U.S. dependence on other countries

Summary

Senator Jeanne Shaheen joins Squawk Box to discuss a bipartisan bill creating a Strategic Resilience Reserve for critical minerals and an independent board to assess U.S. needs. She argues the U.S. must reduce dependence on China after COVID-era shortages and China's export restrictions, and the bill would support domestic production and recycling of mining tailings. She also addresses President Trump's Greenland rhetoric, saying Arctic security is important but the U.S. should work with Denmark and Greenland as allies.
