Chairman @JJovanovicUSA met with Guyana President @presidentaligy on the sidelines of UNGA to advance a growing U.S.-Guyana economic partnership. From energy and infrastructure to housing, EXIM is helping put American companies and American exports at the center of Guyana’s growth.
Chairman @JJovanovicUSA joined @MatthewASwift at @ConcordiaSummit to highlight America’s competitive advantage: small businesses.
Nearly 90% of EXIM’s work supports them. When American small businesses innovate and compete, they strengthen our supply chains and power America’s future. 🇺🇸
At @ConcordiaSummit, @JJovanovicUSA joined @MatthewASwift with a clear message: America has not lost the race for critical minerals.
The first new American iron ore mine in 50 years proves America can mine and manufacture again. 🇺🇸

America is mining again.
@NorthernNewsNow highlights @MesabiMetallics, Minnesota’s first new iron ore mine in more than 50 years. With EXIM support, this project will strengthen America’s steel supply chain, reduce reliance on foreign imports, and support American jobs.
“We have to be able to make things here.” 🇺🇸
On @CNBCMorningCall, @JJovanovicUSA joined @MorganLBrennan to discuss how Project Vault, resilient supply chains, AI, and advanced manufacturing will help reindustrialize America and deliver the American Dream 2.0.
Chairman Jovanovic joined @MorganLBrennan on @CNBCMorningCall to discuss the opening of Minnesota’s first new iron ore mine in nearly 50 years.
The steel used to win World War II and build America came from the Iron Range. We are proud to be a part of reviving American production of iron ore. 🇺🇸
At #Concordia26@matthewswift is joined by The Hon. @JJovanovicUSA Chairman and President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States to discuss rethinking global supply for a fragmented world.
Last week, Under Secretary William Kimmitt joined @EximBankUS Chairman John Jovanovic and White House Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Global Supply Chain David Copley at Mesabi Metallics’ new $2.5 billion iron ore mine and pellet plant in Nashwauk, Minnesota. The visit included a demonstration blast at the mine as operations ramp up at the site.
The project represents the first new iron ore mine and pellet plant to start up in the United States in 50 years—a major investment in America’s industrial base and the upstream inputs essential to American steelmaking.
Under President Trump, the Administration has made strengthening domestic supply chains and expanding U.S. production of the raw materials that underpin American manufacturing a priority. From iron ore to finished steel, the Trump Administration is supporting efforts to bring the entire supply chain for this critical capability to the United States—and those efforts are already producing historic results.
Thank you to @AusintheUS and @BHP for inviting @JJovanovicUSA to join @AusAmbUSA and @Dom_Perrottet at @NationalsPark for an important discussion on the U.S.-Australia Critical Minerals Framework.
The U.S.-Australia partnership is helping build the secure critical minerals supply chains our nations need. 🇺🇸🇦🇺⚾️
At @CSIS, @JJovanovicUSA joined @GraceBaskaran to discuss his visit to Minnesota’s Iron Range and the opening of America’s first new iron ore mine in nearly 50 years.
The Iron Range helped win World War II. Now, American mining is back and powering America’s Golden Age.
EXIM is here to show the world: if you bet on America, it WILL pay off.
We’re here to boost U.S. advanced manufacturing, secure our supply chains, and support well-paying American jobs around the globe.
Under @POTUS, EXIM is opening up new markets so American businesses can COMPETE and WIN around the globe.
