(Reuters) -The Trump administration is considering a plan to reallocate at least $2 billion from the CHIPS Act to fund critical minerals projects and boost Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's influence over the strategic sector, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Boosting Lutnick's role over critical minerals financing would also help centralize the administration's approach to the sector, a push sought by White House officials after the rollout of the Pentagon investment in rare earths company MP Materials last month sparked questions about the U.S. government's minerals strategy, one source said. The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Executives of two of the world’s biggest mining companies, BHP and Rio Tinto, have lobbied at the White House as part of their long-running bid to develop a vast copper mine in the US.View on euronews

President Trump signaled support for a giant copper mine in Arizona following a meeting with the heads of two of the world’s biggest mining companies.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted an appeal court's decision to temporarily block federal officials from completing a land transfer needed for Rio Tinto and BHP to develop Arizona's Resolution Copper project. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, called the court - the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals - a "radical left court." He said that those who oppose the mine "are Anti-American, and representing other copper competitive countries."

STORY: BHP said Tuesday (August 19) its annual profit fell to its lowest in five years. That’s as sluggish China demand weighed on iron ore prices.But it declared a bigger-than-expended final dividend, sending its shares higher. The Australian firm also raised its debt target and said it would consider acquisitions in commodities like copper.The world’s largest listed miner’s full year profit was $10.16 billion.Down more than a quarter from last year and below analyst expectations. Iron ore prices were pressured for much of the year through a combination of factors. This included more products being shipped from Australia, Brazil and South Africa…As well as lower steel production in top consumer China.It affected earnings not just for BHP but other top miners like Rio Tinto.BHP's average realized price for iron ore fell by 19% during the year.But that was partly offset by stronger prices for copper, its second-biggest profit driver.Still, the miner said it expects demand for its commodities to remain resilient.That’s even as the global economy faces an uncertain environment due to "shifting trade policies."

BHP’s chief executive shrugged off the latest setback to a giant U.S. copper project after a court temporarily blocked federal officials from completing a land swap needed to develop the mine, highlighting its importance to achieving President Trump’s goal of reviving America’s copper industry. The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Monday issued a temporary administrative injunction while it considers the merits of lawsuits seeking to stop the transfer of federal land to Resolution Copper, a joint venture of BHP and rival miner Rio Tinto. “As I understand, it’s just temporary while the parties look to launch their applications,” BHP Chief Executive Mike Henry said of the injunction in an interview on Tuesday.
