US eyes more Namibian uranium imports as AI drives nuclear push
Geopolitics · Bloomberg ·
The United States is pursuing increased uranium imports from Namibia, the world's third-largest producer, to support nuclear power expansion for artificial intelligence data centers. US Ambassador John Giordano emphasized that uranium represents a key priority for both countries, noting civilian nuclear plants will likely power massive AI infrastructure. Washington aims to develop new Namibian mining projects while supporting broader southern African energy corridors through government financing.
