'Breaking Xi's Grip': Trump's US Signs Deal to Invest in Nigerian Mining Industry | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how the United States has launched a massive commercial initiative across Africa to secure supply chains for critical minerals necessary to power clean energy technologies, high-tech manufacturing, and defence hardware.

Anchored by a landmark investment agreement signed between Nigeria and the US on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Washington is shifting away from traditional foreign aid towards high-value business deals. The agreement aims to pump American capital directly into exploring and processing Nigeria's estimated $700 billion mineral reserve base—focusing on vital resources like lithium, gold, and iron ore.

To counter China's long-standing dominance over global rare earth refining, Washington is offering African nations local value addition, domestic job creation, and infrastructure development. Similar strategic partnerships are taking shape in Kenya's rare-earth-rich Mrima Hill and along the Lobito Corridor power grid project. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
