Ambassador Greer Welcomes S&P Global's Critical Minerals Price Benchmarks, Citing Coming Trade Pact

  • USTR Ambassador Jamieson Greer on August 7 welcomed S&P Global's new pricing benchmarks for five critical minerals — gallium, germanium, tungsten, antimony, and neodymium/praseodymium.
  • Greer linked the benchmarks to ongoing U.S. negotiations for an Agreement on Trade in Critical Minerals, which aims to set phased-in, border-adjusted price floors with like-minded trading partners.
  • The initiative builds on action plans the U.S. has already signed with Japan, Mexico, and the European Union, and follows nearly 2,500 public comments on the proposed agreement's design.
