Trump's minerals deal may boost U.S. green technology

Former President Trump's recent minerals deal may enhance the U.S. position in green technology, despite his past criticism of such initiatives. This shift could support the development of renewable energy alongside fossil fuels. Investor confidence remains high, with increased activity in clean tech and energy sectors. Some experts suggest maintaining parts of the Inflation Reduction Act while expanding fossil fuel production to ensure energy security. The U.S. absence from international climate discussions is noted, as its participation historically influenced global agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump's focus appears to be on economic gains rather than environmental legacy.
