The US Export-Import Bank, or EXIM, is making a significant strategic push by putting $100 billion on the table to enhance the security of supply chains for critical minerals, liquefied natural gas, and nuclear energy. The West has become “over-reliant upon materials where access is no longer assured in a manner or on terms that are fair to us,” EXIM chair John Jovanovic told the Financial Times.

EXIM is supporting projects across Egypt, Pakistan, and Europe as part of the first round of deals. That includes a credit insurance guarantee for $4 billion worth of natural gas being supplied to Egypt by Hartree Partners, and a $1.25 billion loan for Pakistan’s Reko Diq copper-and-gold mine being developed by Barrick Mining Corporation. According to Jovanovic, EXIM still has about $100 billion left from the $135 billion approved by Congress.

The move aligns closely with President Donald Trump’s energy-dominance agenda, which targets increased energy output in the US and cuts regulatory barriers. The message is clear; the US wants stable, secure, and long-term control over the raw materials powering the future.
