The U.S. is fast-tracking deep-sea mining to secure seabed minerals (polymetallic nodules, cobalt, nickel, manganese) for domestic supply chains, reducing reliance on imports. This creates a new mining sector with potential supply for battery and electronics industries. Impact is U.S.-specific initially but could affect global metal markets if production scales. Channel: regulatory (executive order, permitting) and capex_cycle (new companies investing).
