The United States announces a new $1 trillion investment fund to strengthen global supply chains, particularly in energy and critical minerals. Jacob J. Lew, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, stated that Washington will lead this consortium, expected to gather assets from sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors worldwide. The fund will include major players like SoftBank and Temasek Holdings. The U.S. plans to make an initial investment of $250 million. This move reflects growing international concerns about supply fragility following recent geopolitical tensions.
