Indonesia and the US are exploring ways to deepen their collaboration on critical minerals, following what a top negotiator called a "positive" high-level meeting. While details are still emerging, the talks signal growing interest in securing supply chains for minerals essential to clean energy and tech manufacturing—a priority for both countries.
Editor’s Note: Critical minerals like nickel and cobalt are the building blocks of everything from electric car batteries to smartphones, and countries are scrambling to lock down reliable sources. Indonesia, a major global supplier, could become an even bigger player if this partnership takes off. For the US, it’s about reducing dependence on China and boosting green tech—so this isn’t just a trade story, it’s a glimpse into the geopolitical chessboard of the future.
