据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获悉，特朗普总统计划于周五宣布投入超过1.8亿美元的拨款，用于推动矿业的教育与贸易项目，这是提升关键矿产生产计划的一部分。
一名白宫官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，特朗普将在国务院举行的圆桌会议上公布这项计划，参会者包括科罗拉多矿业学院等高校的教育界人士。美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥、内政部长道格·伯古姆以及商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克也将出席此次活动。
美国能源部即将启动一项规模达1亿美元的拨款项目，旨在未来两年内大幅增加相关领域的学位持有者数量，以此扩大矿业和关键矿产行业的劳动力队伍。一名官员表示，该项目预计将为奖学金及其他项目提供资金支持。高校、社区学院、职业学校、行业团体及其他合作伙伴均可申请此项资助。
美军也将额外提供超过8000万美元的资金，分配给三所大学。
其中，科罗拉多矿业学院将获得3270万美元用于建设技术开发中心，南达科他州矿业学院将获得2500万美元用于设立劳动力发展项目，约翰斯·霍普金斯大学将获得2360万美元用于开展以回收利用为重点的项目。
此次拨款计划出台之际，特朗普政府正推动增加美国锂、硅、石墨和稀土元素等关键矿产的生产。这些材料是制造半导体、航空航天设备以及众多其他现代技术产品的必需原材料，但全球范围内的关键矿产开采和精炼大部分由中国主导。
特朗普此前还曾致力于推动煤炭矿业发展。今年6月，他的政府承诺为燃煤电厂和一个煤炭出口码头提供7亿美元的拨款，并放宽了限制煤炭行业的环保法规。

President Trump is planning to announce over $180 million in grants to boost educational and trade programs for the mining industry Friday, CBS News has learned, part of a bid to increase critical mineral production.
Mr. Trump will unveil the plans at a roundtable at the State Department with educational leaders from universities like the Colorado School of Mines, a White House official told CBS News. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick are also slated to participate.
The Department of Energy is launching a $100 million grant program aimed at expanding the mining and critical mineral workforce by dramatically increasing the number of people with degrees in those areas over the next two years. The program is expected to financially support scholarships and other programs, an official said. Universities, community colleges, trade schools, industry groups and other partners will be eligible to apply.
The military is also offering more than $80 million in additional funding to three universities.
The Colorado School of Mines is expected to get $32.7 million for a tech development hub, the South Dakota School of Mines will get $25 million to set up workforce development programs and Johns Hopkins University will get $23.6 million for a recycling-focused program.
The grant programs come as the Trump administration pushes to increase U.S. production of critical minerals like lithium, silicon, graphite and rare-earth elements. Those materials are essential for making semiconductors, aerospace equipment and many other modern technologies, but China mines and refines an outsized share of the world’s critical minerals.
Mr. Trump has also sought to boost the coal mining industry. His administration pledged $700 million in grants to coal plants and a coal export terminal in June, and it has eased environmental regulations that restricted the coal industry.
