US critical minerals push brings a lobbying gold rush to Washington

امریکی اہم معدنیات کی مہم نے واشنگٹن میں لابنگ کی دوڑ لگا دی

अमेरिका के अहम खनिज अभियान ने वाशिंगटन में लॉबिंग की दौड़ लगा दी

US critical minerals push brings a lobbying gold rush to Washington

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • America's drive to secure its own supplies of critical minerals has set off a lobbying boom in Washington, even though domestic production has barely grown.
  • Mining companies are spending heavily to win federal loans, contracts and backing for projects that still face permitting and financing hurdles, as the government tries to cut reliance on China.
  • Firms with government deals raised their federal lobbying to more than 11.5 million dollars in 2025 and the first half of 2026, up from 2.5 million in 2024.
  • امریکہ کی اپنی اہم معدنیات کی فراہمی یقینی بنانے کی مہم نے واشنگٹن میں لابنگ کی دوڑ لگا دی ہے، حالانکہ ملکی پیداوار میں بمشکل اضافہ ہوا ہے۔ کان کنی کمپنیاں وفاقی قرضوں، ٹھیکوں اور حمایت حاصل کرنے کے لیے بھاری خرچ کر رہی ہیں، جبکہ ان کے منصوبوں کو اب بھی اجازت اور مالی رکاوٹوں کا سامنا ہے، کیونکہ حکومت چین پر انحصار کم کرنا چاہتی ہے۔ سرکاری معاہدوں والی کمپنیوں نے 2025 اور 2026 کی پہلی ششماہی میں وفاقی لابنگ پر 11.5 ملین ڈالر سے زیادہ خرچ کیے، جو 2024 میں 2.5 ملین ڈالر تھے۔ ایک مثال ٹوئن میٹلز ہے، جس نے باؤنڈری واٹرز کے قریب 20 سالہ کان کنی پابندی ختم ہونے کے بعد اپنی مینیسوٹا کاپر، نکل اور کوبالٹ کان کے لیے کم از کم 600,000 ڈالر لابنگ پر خرچ کیے۔
  • अमेरिका के अपने अहम खनिजों की आपूर्ति सुरक्षित करने के अभियान ने वाशिंगटन में लॉबिंग की दौड़ लगा दी है, हालाँकि घरेलू उत्पादन में बमुश्किल वृद्धि हुई है। खनन कंपनियाँ संघीय ऋण, ठेके और समर्थन पाने के लिए भारी खर्च कर रही हैं, जबकि उनकी परियोजनाओं को अब भी अनुमति और वित्त की बाधाओं का सामना है, क्योंकि सरकार चीन पर निर्भरता कम करना चाहती है। सरकारी सौदों वाली कंपनियों ने 2025 और 2026 की पहली छमाही में संघीय लॉबिंग पर 11.5 मिलियन डॉलर से अधिक खर्च किए, जो 2024 में 2.5 मिलियन डॉलर थे। एक उदाहरण ट्विन मेटल्स है, जिसने बाउंड्री वाटर्स के पास 20 साल के खनन प्रतिबंध के हटने के बाद अपनी मिनेसोटा ताँबा, निकल और कोबाल्ट खान के लिए कम से कम 600,000 डॉलर लॉबिंग पर खर्च किए।

America's drive to secure its own supplies of critical minerals has set off a lobbying boom in Washington, even though domestic production has barely grown. Mining companies are spending heavily to win federal loans, contracts and backing for projects that still face permitting and financing hurdles, as the government tries to cut reliance on China. Firms with government deals raised their federal lobbying to more than 11.5 million dollars in 2025 and the first half of 2026, up from 2.5 million in 2024. One example is Twin Metals, which spent at least 600,000 dollars lobbying for its Minnesota copper, nickel and cobalt mine after the Senate voted to overturn a 20-year mining ban near the Boundary Waters.

امریکہ کی اپنی اہم معدنیات کی فراہمی یقینی بنانے کی مہم نے واشنگٹن میں لابنگ کی دوڑ لگا دی ہے، حالانکہ ملکی پیداوار میں بمشکل اضافہ ہوا ہے۔ کان کنی کمپنیاں وفاقی قرضوں، ٹھیکوں اور حمایت حاصل کرنے کے لیے بھاری خرچ کر رہی ہیں، جبکہ ان کے منصوبوں کو اب بھی اجازت اور مالی رکاوٹوں کا سامنا ہے، کیونکہ حکومت چین پر انحصار کم کرنا چاہتی ہے۔ سرکاری معاہدوں والی کمپنیوں نے 2025 اور 2026 کی پہلی ششماہی میں وفاقی لابنگ پر 11.5 ملین ڈالر سے زیادہ خرچ کیے، جو 2024 میں 2.5 ملین ڈالر تھے۔ ایک مثال ٹوئن میٹلز ہے، جس نے باؤنڈری واٹرز کے قریب 20 سالہ کان کنی پابندی ختم ہونے کے بعد اپنی مینیسوٹا کاپر، نکل اور کوبالٹ کان کے لیے کم از کم 600,000 ڈالر لابنگ پر خرچ کیے۔
