Kenya's Mrima Hills are a treasure trove of rare earth minerals and niobium, valued at over $62 billion in 2013. The US, with its cutting-edge tech industries, is eager to tap into these resources, crucial for producing electric vehicles, smartphones, and other innovative products. As a result, Kenya is poised to become a key player in the global mineral diplomacy game, with the US, China, and Australia vying for access to its resources. The US is keenly aware of the importance of maintaining good relations with Kenya, a country with a stable government and vast mineral deposits. Unlike the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Russia and China have significant interests in the mineral sector, the current Kenyan government is more willing to cooperate with the US investors.
