China’s critical mineral dominance poses a challenge the U.S. cannot address through traditional mining and processing alone.

The STRATA Act would use America’s advantages in innovation and our strong ties with partners and allies around the world to secure our critical mineral infrastructure.

I’ve been working for years to fix this flaw in our tax code to ensure that Americans currently held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad don’t owe thousands of dollars to the IRS when we finally bring them home.

It’s ridiculous that one of the first things an American hostage or wrongful detainee receives from the government when they return home from captivity is a tax bill.
