Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The control of critical minerals is determined by who manages access to the geology and under what political conditions, not just the geology itself. This resource control is viewed as challenging the historical geopolitical reality of US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

The United States is seeking to expand its power in the Western Hemisphere, a trend linked to Abelardo de la Espriella's presidency in Colombia and his strategic foreign policy shifts.
