It directs the Secretary of Commerce and other federal agencies to implement actions such as negotiating onshoring agreements tied to Most-Favored-Nation pricing and imposing significant tariffs and other trade measures to reduce reliance on foreign production, noting that about 53 percent of patented pharmaceutical products and only 15 percent of patented APIs by volume were produced domestically as of 2025.

The order directs federal agencies to continue the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment for all countries. This policy applies to shipments sent to the United States through the international postal network that would otherwise qualify for the de minimis exemption.

This decision comes after India's commitment to stop importing Russian Federation oil and increase its purchase of United States energy products, as well as its pledge to expand defense cooperation with the United States over the next decade.

The order directs the Secretary of Commerce to address the impact of imports of processed critical minerals and their derivative products (PCMDPs) on the national security of the United States. The Secretary's investigation found that these imports threaten national security due to their essential role in industries such as defense and commercial supply chains, and the production of advanced weapons systems, energy infrastructure, and consumer goods. The Secretary also identified a reliance on foreign sources for these imports, which creates a national security vulnerability and risks supply chain disruptions and economic instability. As of 2024, the U.S. was 100% reliant on imports for 12 critical minerals and over 50% reliant for 29 additional critical minerals.
