M2i Global (OTC:MTWO) earlier this week highlighted the urgency of addressing critical mineral supply chain vulnerabilities in the United States.
Alberto Rosende, CEO of M2i Global (OTC:MTWO), said the US reliance on countries like China for sourcing, refining, and processing critical minerals could threaten national defense, innovation, and economic security.
“Restrictions could choke US technology, innovation, and defense progress,” Rosende said.
“We're creating an ecosystem with industry and government partners to provide alternative sources of critical minerals.”
The company emphasized that potential mineral restrictions from China could stifle progress in technology and hinder efforts to rebuild the US defense sector. “We could see [China] push their heel down the jugular vein, choking our innovation and security,” Rosende said.
M2i Global aims to rebuild a resilient supply chain through partnerships with the federal government and private industry. It is developing alternative sources of critical minerals while advocating for increased domestic production.
As Rosende explained, “It requires a united front, working with state and federal governments, to ensure a steady supply of these essential resources.”
The company stressed the importance of responsible mining practices to prevent future supply chain disruptions.
“We must ensure environmental and community concerns are addressed as we expand,” the CEO added.
“We aim to expand without repeating past mistakes, ensuring community and environmental considerations are prioritized.”
