Jeff Green Defends U.S. Critical Minerals Producers in National Journal

Jeff Green gave his insight to Brian Dabbs of the National Journal regarding the need to source critical minerals from domestic producers. The article cites a key Department of Defense sourcing law that J.A. Green & Company has supported since inception. The law, codified at 10 U.S.C. §2533c, secures critical U.S. supply chains from dependence on foreign adversaries and incentivizes domestic manufacturing.
 
An excerpt of the article is provided below:

“The 2019 defense authorization bill prohibited the Pentagon, a major user of products that contain critical minerals, from purchasing samarium-cobalt magnets, neodymium-iron-boron magnets, and tungsten metal powder from China, Russia, and Iran.”

‘We need to maximize the defense industrial base,” said Jeffery Green, who runs a consultancy that works with defense contractors. “We’ll only work with clients that are foreign-owned by allies if they’re doing manufacturing here in the U.S. because we feel so strongly that partnerships and alliances shift so rapidly.’”
