Many details remain buried in Australia-US rare earths deal

Australia is “ready to go” as Anthony Albanese announces Australia is “ready to go” with a comprehensive new critical minerals deal with the US that will unlock a resource pipeline Up to 53 billion US dollarsAccording to the Trump administration and its $5 billion investment commitments, this decision sounded decisive.

It’s a striking headline figure for what’s vaguely referred to as the “framework,” and the details of the announcement felt largely factual. For an agreement that has been under negotiation for a long time “four, five months”It was poor in detail.
