The Metals Company (TMC) has made efforts to engage the Trump administration to facilitate its deep-sea mining initiatives after facing obstacles in global talks. The push to mine battery materials in the ocean has raised alarms among scientists and environmentalists concerning potential impacts on marine ecosystems. With ongoing discussions at the International Seabed Authority about regulations, TMC believes that U.S. support could provide a critical advantage for their operations, relocating their focus from international hurdles to domestic permits under U.S. mining laws.
The Metals Company has sought help from the Trump administration to navigate roadblocks in international negotiations for deep-sea mining of battery materials.
Concerns abound among scientists and policymakers about the environmental impact of deep-sea mining, compared to how well the moon's surface is mapped.
