Trump Admin Builds Strategic Supply Chain Holdings in Key Sectors
The Trump administration has been quietly building a significant portfolio of strategic corporate holdings in critical supply chains. The government now owns stakes in companies like U.S. Steel, Trilogy Metals, Lithium Americas, Intel, and MP Materials, with a focus on sectors such as semiconductors, rare earths, lithium, and steel.
The administration's strategy, developed by an unnamed individual, involves acquiring equity stakes and warrants in key companies. For instance, it owns a 'golden share' in U.S. Steel and a 10% stake in Trilogy Metals. In the tech sector, Washington holds a 10% equity stake in Intel, along with a five-year warrant to buy an additional 5% if Intel loses majority control of its foundry business. The government also owns a 15% stake in MP Materials, a result of a Department of Defense partnership.
The administration's interest in lithium is notable, with a 10% stake in Lithium Americas. This company is tied to a $2.26 billion federal loan restructuring for its Thacker Pass mine in Nevada. The government's involvement in these companies suggests a strategic effort to secure critical supply chains and maintain national security.
The Trump administration's strategic corporate holdings indicate a proactive approach to securing critical supply chains. These investments span various sectors, including steel, rare earths, lithium, and semiconductors. While the specific individual behind this strategy remains unnamed, the administration's actions demonstrate a commitment to maintaining control over key industries.
