Welcome to the inaugural episode of our Substack podcast, Marvelous Mrs Metals’ Metals Market Minutes! Today, we delve into the groundbreaking Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025, a pivotal piece of legislation that has just passed the Senate and is designed to significantly enhance the stability and resilience of critical supply chains and emerging technologies crucial for the national and economic security of the United States. This Act, designated as S. 257, aims to improve the resilience of critical supply chains.
This Act introduces additional responsibilities for the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Analysis, including leading a new Supply Chain Resilience Working Group. The Group's mandate is to assess, map, and model critical supply chains, identify high-priority gaps and vulnerabilities, and promote the growth and competitiveness of United States production and manufacturing. This includes a focus on critical goods, which are broadly defined to encompass minerals, metals, and advanced processed materials, and identifying opportunities to reuse and recycle critical goods to enhance resilience.
