What it does
The bill creates two new programs in the State Department. The first helps the U.S. and allied countries work together on rare metals and computer chips. They share research and money. The second sends up to 10 U.S. factory workers per year to allied countries for training. Both programs aim to reduce U.S. reliance on supply chains from rival countries.
Who it affects
Factory workers who may get training abroad. Companies that work on computer chips and rare metals. Schools and research groups that may get money. The State Department runs both programs.
One thing to notice
The Secretary of State gets broad power to make deals. Congress has little say in what happens.
