EconomyUS plans auction of waters around American Samoa for potential deep-sea mining
The U.S. government is preparing to auction off vast areas of water surrounding American Samoa. The waters could be used for deep-sea mining. The plan represents a push to open these offshore areas to potential mineral extraction through an auction process. It focuses on the surrounding waters and their possible future use rather than announcing an active mining operation. The proposal places American Samoa at the center of a U.S. effort to advance deep-sea mining.
