Interior Secretary Doug Burgum on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream 4/20/25

U.S. Energy Strategy and Trade: Insights from Secretary Doug Burgum

In a recent appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum discussed the pressing issues of trade and the United States’ quest for global energy supremacy. A significant point of his discourse was the necessity for the U.S. to lead in the artificial intelligence (AI) arms race.

The Rare Earth Minerals Conundrum

When host Shannon Bream raised the topic of rare earth minerals, Burgum revealed a startling truth: the U.S. not only relies heavily on imports from China but also sends some of its mined materials back to China for processing before they return home. “What steps can we take domestically to eliminate China from this supply chain?” Bream inquired, prompting Burgum to reflect on the historical context of U.S. mining policies.

“The challenges started back during the Obama and Biden administrations,” Burgum noted. “We’ve essentially been at odds with domestic mining.” He emphasized copper’s critical role in both electronics and military applications, hinting at the broader implications of U.S. dependency on foreign minerals.

Navigating Tariffs and Trade Tensions with China

With China labeled as the foremost threat to U.S. interests, Bream probed further into the tariff strategies. Burgum expressed unwavering confidence in former President Trump’s negotiation skills, likening him to a master negotiator who once penned a book on the subject. He suggested that China’s vulnerability lies in its significant dependence on imports, including 11.5 million barrels of oil daily and 25% of its caloric intake from abroad.

“We are an energy superpower and a food superpower; meanwhile, China finds itself reliant on our resources,” Burgum stated. He emphasized the urgent need for the U.S. to disentangle itself from critical mineral supply chains that currently favor China.

The Intersection of Energy and AI

Bream also highlighted the connection between energy production and advancements in AI technology, prompting Burgum to discuss the energy landscape. “Thermal coal is essential for electricity generation, while metallurgical coal is integral for steel production,” he explained. Burgum argued that coal remains a steadfast energy source, operational around the clock and throughout the year, contrasting it with the intermittency of renewable energy sources.

The Stakes of the AI Arms Race

Concluding his remarks, Secretary Burgum stressed the importance of winning the AI arms race against China, labeling it an existential threat to U.S. security. “While we lead in technology, they excel in energy production,” he cautioned, underscoring the urgency of aligning U.S. energy capabilities with technological advancements.
