Dems blast Biden admin for efforts to crack down on critical mineral production: 'Hurt the mining industry'
Fox News
Democrats are criticizing President Biden over his administration's effort announced Tuesday to add more stringent environmental protections to the mining industry.
Cortez Masto and Rosen echoed a top mining industry group, arguing the policies listed would restrict vital mineral production. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Unfortunately, these recommendations to impose new taxes and change the mining claims process would make it harder to create new mining projects in the United States at a time when too many companies are sourcing these minerals from communist China," Cortez Masto said.
