Chile, U.S. sign deals on critical minerals, security

The accords include $1 million in U.S. technical aid and expand cooperation from exploration to processing, recycling and anti-crime work.

  • Public Security Minister Trinidad Steinert said the pact helps Chile lead in combating organized crime, declaring, "Chile will now play a leading role internationally," while the Federal Bureau will provide $1 million to Investigations Police for training and equipment.
