The United States and participating allied governments benefited by strengthening coordinated access to critical minerals, advanced manufacturing capacity, and AI-related infrastructure, enhancing collective resilience of silicon supply chains and industrial cooperation.
Nonparticipating states and private-sector actors outside the coalition may face reduced influence over coalition-coordinated silicon supply chains and less direct allied coordination on access to critical minerals.
