STATEMENT: Rep. Stevens on Reports of Trump Family Financial Ties to Critical Minerals Deals

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to reports detailing financial ties between President Trump's family and federally backed critical minerals projects, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens released the following statement:

"Michiganders need a real critical minerals strategy to lower costs and secure our supply chains, not a backdoor scheme to funnel tax dollars to Trump’s billionaire friends.

“Reports that companies tied to President Trump's family could profit from taxpayer-backed critical minerals deals raise serious questions about whose interests this administration is serving. Our industrial policy should strengthen our national security and create good-paying manufacturing jobs, not just reward politically connected insiders.

“Michigan workers deserve a government that puts them first, not billionaire self-interest."

Congresswoman Stevens has long championed strengthening America's critical mineral supply chains through transparent, worker-focused industrial policy. She introduced the Unearth America’s Future Act to expand domestic production and processing of critical minerals, reduce dependence on China, strengthen Michigan manufacturing, and create good-paying jobs at home. Stevens has consistently argued that critical minerals policy should be driven by national security and economic competitiveness, not personal financial interests or political theater.
