The funding comes from the Department of State and covers the period from December 2025 to September 2027.

Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 101 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Recoverable Critical Minerals and Materials
This memorandum invokes the Defense Production Act (DPA) Section 101 to declare that recoverable critical minerals and materials (such as black mass, end-of-life rare-earth magnets, and scrap) are essential to national defense and that the U.S. cannot meet defense needs without disrupting civilian markets. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to issue regulations and take actions—including priority contracts and supply-chain interventions—to rapidly expand domestic recovery and processing of these materials, while explicitly excluding copper scrap already covered by a separate proclamation.

This executive order restricts waivers for foreign-sourced critical materials in defense contracts, effective January 1, 2027, and mandates that defense contractors map their supply chains from raw materials to end products, vet subcontractors for risks, and prohibit covered materials from unreliable foreign suppliers. It directs the Secretary of War to enforce strict compliance, including requiring mitigation plans for any non-compliant materials and establishing penalties for fraud or willful noncompliance.
Advancing Regenerative Agriculture and Strengthening American Farm Resilience
This executive order directs the EPA, USDA, and HHS to prioritize registration of alternative pesticides, expedite cumulative exposure research, and maximize funding for a regenerative agriculture pilot program, while creating public-private partnerships to expand adoption of conservation farming practices. The order specifically instructs the EPA Administrator to speed up registration actions for substances that can replace older active ingredients, and requires HHS to issue a grand prize challenge for cumulative chemical exposure evaluation technologies.
