UK aims for self-sufficiency in critical minerals with new strategy

• Prime Minister Keir Starmer has introduced a plan for the UK to produce 10% of its critical minerals domestically, aiming to enhance national security and reduce dependence on unreliable global supply chains.
• This initiative comes in response to growing concerns about the stability of international resources and the need for a sustainable supply of essential minerals for technology and energy sectors.
• The move is expected to bolster domestic production capabilities and create jobs while addressing vulnerabilities in the current sourcing strategy.
