Zambia's Foreign Minister Reveals U.S. Minerals Deal Talks
On Thursday, Zambia’s Foreign Minister, Mulambo Haimbe, revealed that negotiations for a critical minerals agreement with the U.S. are still in progress. This announcement was made during a signing ceremony for a separate health agreement, which Zambia insisted be separated from the minerals deal.
Haimbe did not disclose specific details about the minerals involved in the negotiations. Previously, Zambia had resisted a proposal that would tie U.S. health funding to increased American access to its mineral resources.
Zambia is recognized as the second-largest copper producer in sub-Saharan Africa, following the Democratic Republic of Congo.
