An important member of the U.S. Congress wrote a letter to a mining company, hoping to find out if the company can help the U.S. reduce its dependence on Chinese tungsten mines.
The mining company is called Almonty Industries, and they have a tungsten mine in South Korea called Sangdong.

The congressman wants to know when this mine can start production, how much tungsten it can produce each year, and whether this tungsten can be sold to the U.S. Department of Defense.
