Yes, the United States does possess active rare earth mineral extraction and processing capabilities, most notably highlighted by the Mountain Pass mine located in California, which is operated by MP Materials. Additionally, the federal government and various private industrial enterprises have aggressively invested in expanding domestic rare earth processing, refining infrastructure, and exploratory projects across multiple states to secure critical supply chains independent of foreign monopolies.
