Friday, November 1, 2024
Significance
The policy has been in place since 2012. During this time, there has been little improvement in peace and security in the parts of DRC where minerals have been sourced.
Impacts
- The outcome of this month’s US elections will have a major influence on what new policy measures emerge from Washington.
- US legislation targeting Chinese companies in Congo’s cobalt sector is possible if Republicans gain a majority in Congress in November.
- Companies with products containing Congolese minerals can expect continued public scrutiny of their supply chains.
