Establish the Bureau of Energy Security and Diplomacy at the State Department to lead America’s international energy, critical minerals, and supply chain strategy.

Evidence
Young Kim said the DOMINANCE Act passed the House and that it aligns U.S. diplomatic, development, and financing tools to secure stronger, more resilient energy and critical mineral supply chains outside PRC influence.
The office's June 9 latest-news listing says Young Kim and National Mining Association President and CEO Rich Nolan issued a joint statement on the DOMINANCE Act.
Assessments
The evidence shows Young Kim advanced related energy and critical-minerals diplomacy legislation, including House passage of the DOMINANCE Act, but it does not show the promised outcome was actually achieved. The specific promise was to establish a Bureau of Energy Security and Diplomacy at the State Department, and there is no evidence that such a bureau was created. This is a serious legislative effort in the same policy lane, but it falls short of delivery.
