Tackling China’s ‘chokehold’: Australia joins G7 talks on critical minerals

visibility comment0 event January 12, 2026 timer 19:23

Former Trump trade advisor Kelly Ann Shaw warns countries need an “alternative plan,” otherwise China will exercise its critical mineral “chokehold” once again.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers is to meet with the Trump administration in a push for Australia’s role in securing critical minerals.

“Before the holiday break, countries around the world were really feeling the squeeze from China’s rare earth export controls,” Ms Shaw told Sky News Australia.

“There is concern on the US side that other countries are going to grow complacent, that they’re not going to see this as such an urgent issue.”
