The plan also brought to the fore a pitched clash over who regulates seabed mining in international waters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The pushback emerged after The Metals Company, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, disclosed on Thursday that it would ask the Trump administration through a United States subsidiary to grant it approval for mining in international waters. Under an international treaty, the International Seabed Authority has jurisdiction over any mining on the so-called high seas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAny unilateral action would constitute a violation of international law and directly undermine the fundamental principles of multilateralism, the peaceful use of the oceans and the collective governance framework,\u201d Leticia Carvalho, the secretary general of the seabed authority, said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/newsgraphics\/documenttools\/f20fa9b010d15d20\/0710c17f-full.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">in a statement<\/a> released Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Diplomats backed up Ms. Carvalho, arguing that the surprise proposal threatened a global effort to share in the wealth from any metals buried on the seabed floor, which are expected to be used to build electric car batteries and other industrial products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is the Authority that has the exclusive mandate to regulate the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in the area,\u201d Carl Grainger, Ireland\u2019s representative, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Metals Company turned to the Trump administration after growing increasingly frustrated with how long it has taken the Seabed Authority to complete environmental and financial regulations that will govern seabed mining. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isa.org.jm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2314461E.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The agency has said<\/a> that those standards are needed before issuing its first commercial mining permit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gerard Barron, the company\u2019s chairman, said that he wanted to start mining in international waters by 2027 and that he was convinced the United States had the legal right to issue a permit on its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe freedom to mine the deep seabed, like the freedom of navigation, is a high seas freedom enjoyed by all nations,\u201d Mr. Barron said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration\u2019s Commerce Department, in a statement to The New York Times late Friday, confirmed that it disagreed with the Seabed Authority\u2019s interpretation of international law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCompanies can apply for exploration licenses and commercial recovery permits for deep-sea mining in ocean areas beyond national jurisdiction,\u201d Maureen O\u2019Leary, a department spokeswoman said, citing a 1980 federal law, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/coast.noaa.gov\/data\/Documents\/OceanLawSearch\/DeepSeabedHardMineralResourcesAct.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act<\/a>. It has never previously been used to authorize industrial-scale ocean mining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. O\u2019Leary added that the U.S. subsidiary of The Metals Company had started consulting with the Commerce Department over deep-sea mining plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe process ensures a thorough environmental impact review, interagency consultations and opportunity for public comment,\u201d Ms. O\u2019Leary said, suggesting that the permit approval would not be automatic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Each nation already controls its own coastal areas, which are considered to reach about 200 nautical miles from the shore, and certain countries such as Japan, Norway and the Cook Islands have recently considered allowing seabed mining in these national areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which went into effect in 1994, established the International Seabed Authority and granted it the power to decide when and where seabed mining can take place in international waters, which cover nearly half the world\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the decades since, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isa.org.jm\/exploration-contracts\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">more than two dozen contracts have been granted<\/a> by the agency for exploratory work, extracting small quantities of seabed rocks from the ocean floor, including to the Metals Company, which teamed up with the small island nations of Nauru and Tonga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The company\u2019s contract sites are about 1,000 miles off the coast of Mexico, where the ocean is about 2.5 miles deep, in a region known as the Clarion-Clipperton Zone. There the seabed floor is sprinkled with potato-size rocks that have large quantities of nickel, manganese, copper, zinc, cobalt and other minerals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Metals Company has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars doing exploratory work. But it has become clear that the rules will not be ready for at least several more years, and the company is running low on cash and even available borrowing authority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe believe we have sufficient knowledge to get started and prove we can manage environmental risks,\u201d Mr. Barron said, adding that the company planned to ask the United States to approve mining in these same areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Law of the Sea has been ratified by more than 165 nations, but one major exception is the United States. Dating back to the Reagan administration, there were concerns related to seabed mining provisions and how they might limit mining by American companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the United States successfully negotiated changes to the treaty in the 1990s to try to address these concerns. In the decades since, the State Department has sent representatives to meetings at the Seabed Authority\u2019s headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica, creating the impression that the United States intends to honor the terms of the treaty, even though the Senate never formally ratified it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Trump has already shown a willingness to challenge international norms. He has proposed that the United States take over Greenland or even Canada to increase access to critical minerals needed to fuel manufacturing in the United States, and perhaps even the Panama Canal to more cheaply move American manufactured goods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Metals Company executives have confidentially been meeting with Trump White House and Commerce Department officials to prepare this plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Barron, in an interview and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/newsgraphics\/documenttools\/1da259324380809c\/13932f43-full.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">statement he prepared<\/a> for The Times, said he believed that the Seabed Authority has been constrained by environmental groups like Greenpeace. Such organizations, he said, \u201csee deep-sea mining industry as their \u2018last green trophy\u2019 and have worked tirelessly to continuously delay the adoption of the exploitation regulations with the explicit intent of killing commercial industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He also argued that the authority\u2019s delay in finishing the seabed mining rules had violated the terms of the international agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Such arguments have not been well received by the Seabed Authority and its member states: <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/deep-sea-conservation.org\/solutions\/no-deep-sea-mining\/momentum-for-a-moratorium\/governments-and-parliamentarians\/#:~:text=Moratorium%3A%20Canada%2C%20New%20Zealand%2C,%2C%20Sweden%2C%20Tuvalu%2C%20Vanuatu.\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">More than 30 nations have argued<\/a> that there still is not enough evidence that seabed mining can take place without causing unacceptable harm to the environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even nations like China, India, Poland and Norway \u2014 which have been more supportive of moving more quickly to start industrial-scale mining in international waters \u2014 have joined to object to the proposal by The Metals Company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A license granted by the Trump administration to The Metals Company could give the company a head start on these nations, potentially flooding the marketplace with metals like nickel and copper and undermining plans by these other nations to mine the ocean on their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAt this critical moment in history, it is more important for us to be united in continuing to demonstrate the effectiveness and vitality of the seabed regime,\u201d a Chinese government official said in a statement read at a Seabed Authority meeting on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
