Metal Miner reported on why graphite is so important to the United States, especially in the use of lithium-ion batteries.
As quoted in the market news:

More than 50 percent of the US’ graphite requirement is met by imports from China, which is a cause for concern for the US government. Many governments around the world are very intent on developing fuel cells through large-scale funding. Graphite is a primary raw material used in the bipolar plates of these fuel cells.
