What the source says

In October 2025, these controls were further expanded, and although their implementation was delayed for one year, an estimated $6.5 trillion in annual downstream production outside China could be jeopardised if the measures are enacted fully.

Verbatim extraction verified: The figure 6.5 trillion USD is directly attested in the quoted passage (IEA Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026 report findings).

The figure above was extracted from this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
