President Trump signed an executive order to boost the U.S. deep-sea mining industry for critical minerals.

The move comes amid U.S. efforts to decrease reliance on China for critical minerals.

Trump signed several executive orders in the Oval Office today focused on education, some continuing the administration's efforts to root diversity equity and inclusion from schools and others aiming to increase apprenticeships and artificial intelligence training opportunities for students.
