On Tuesday, the White House announced that the United States will work with allies such as Canada, Finland, Chile, Australia and others to secure the minerals needed for electric vehicles.

The strategy includes new financing aimed at expanding international investment in electric vehicle metal projects, as well as new efforts to increase supply by recycling batteries through the U.S. Development Finance Corporation.
