Trump’s executive orders a boost for US metals market — GreenMet CEO

US President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders prioritizing domestic mineral development have created new opportunities, with GreenMet chief executive Drew Horn calling government involvement a crucial catalyst for growth.

In an interview with MINING.COM host Devan Murugan, Horn emphasized aligning private investments with federal policies to strengthen critical mineral supply chains. As a former lead on critical minerals in the first Trump administration, Horn highlighted midstream processing and metallurgy as key gaps in the US supply chain.

Horn, a strong advocate for US investment in Greenland’s mineral resources, dismissed sovereignty concerns, stressing local business support for development. He highlighted the immediate opportunities available, with Greenmet actively advancing projects backed by institutional investors.

Horn also discussed GreenMet’s partnership with Torngat Metals in Canada’s Strange Lake rare earths project, underscoring the need for US-Canada collaboration to secure North America’s rare earth supply chains.
