Trump orders tightening of defense supply-chain waiver rules
Waiver requests must now include mitigation plans, supplier vetting and supply-chain mapping, and contractors risk losing contracts for noncompliance, officials said.
- US President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at reducing dependence on China for defense-related critical minerals, directing military contractors to shift away from Beijing-linked supply chains.
- The order directs military contractors to submit formal mitigation plans to identify non-compliant sources, document efforts to find compliant material, and lay out steps to remove non-compliant sources from their supply chains.
- Starting January 2027, firms seeking waivers to acquire sensitive materials from 'non-allied foreign nations' will have to show exhaustive efforts to find compliant materials or prove that none was available.
