It&#8217;s also drawing rare criticism from Republicans in energy-rich states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uranium<a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyfuels.com\/news-pr\/department-of-commerce-submits-uranium-section-232-report-to-president-trump\/\" target=_blank> is a vital component<\/a> for the U.S. nuclear arsenal, <a href=\"http:\/\/fissilematerials.org\/library\/doe14.pdf\" target=_blank>submarines<\/a> and power plants, which prompted a Commerce Department investigation into whether such materials fall under the national security umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has said that just 5 percent of the uranium the U.S. needs for military and electricity generation comes from domestic production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/energyexplained\/index.php?page=nuclear_where\" target=_blank>Russia and other countries<\/a> supply the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2019\/03\/07\/that-time-the-us-dropped-an-atomic-bomb-on-a-fleet-of-95-ships\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Atoll6.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">That time the US dropped an atomic bomb on a fleet of 95 ships<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Mistakes were made.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement issued late Friday, Trump said Ross\u2019s findings about national security \u201craise significant concerns.\u201d Yet the president opted against quotas as advocated by the domestic uranium industry, which would limit imports to guarantee that U.S. miners supply 25 percent of uranium for domestic use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump instead announced he was going to order a working group to use 90 days to make recommendations to increase domestic uranium production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two Colorado-based uranium mining companies \u2014 Energy Fuels Inc. and Ur-Energy Inc. \u2014 petitioned the Commerce Department in January 2018 to impose the 25 percent requirement under <a href=\"https:\/\/fas.org\/sgp\/crs\/misc\/IF10667.pdf\" target=_blank>Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act<\/a>. The companies said relying on imports poses a \u201cserious threat to our national defense and energy security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of the uranium mined in the U.S. comes from Wyoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe decision by the Trump administration is a missed opportunity to protect America\u2019s uranium producers,\u201d said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., who denounced using foreign materials. \u201cAmerica should not rely on Vladimir Putin and his satellites to supply our uranium. It\u2019s dangerous and unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"354\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_17332653586241.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_17332653586241.jpg.jpg 512w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_17332653586241.jpg.jpg?resize=300,207 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">President Donald Trump waves as he walks with Sen.

(Jacquelyn Martin\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Environmentalists saw the mining companies\u2019 petition as part of an effort to expand mining across the U.S. They also were worried about the area outside the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park, where an Obama-era decision placed roughly 1 million acres off limits to new mining claims for a 20-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re obviously relieved there&#8217;s not a quota, but we&#8217;re not out of the woods yet,&#8221; said Amber Reimondo, energy program director for the Flagstaff, Arizona-based environmental group the Grand Canyon Trust. &#8220;There&#8217;s clearly some concern with this working group that the president has ordered. And, depending on what comes out of that, it seems likely that there could be additional shortcuts to environmental safeguards.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, the Trump administration designated nearly three dozen minerals, including uranium, as critical. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said at the time the department would work &#8220;expeditiously&#8221; to streamline the permitting process for mining to locate domestic supplies of minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy Fuels has been waiting for uranium prices to rise to restart operations at its Canyon Mine near the Grand Canyon&#8217;s South Rim entrance. In a statement, the energy companies said they &#8220;commend&#8221; Trump for recognizing that the nuclear industry was &#8220;under siege&#8221; and for establishing the working group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision was a rare moment in which the Trump administration did not use the powers of the government to give American companies a trade advantage over international competition. The administration had previously levied tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum, leading to retaliatory tariffs from Canada, Mexico, China and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Fonseca reported from Flagstaff, Arizona.
