Trade talks between the USA and China showing progress in resolving trade dispute issues.
The US-China Trade Talks Are Moving Forward 🌏
Lo and behold! The ongoing US-China trade discussions are progressing as per the US Trade Minister Howard Lutnick's claims. During a press conference in London, Lutnick stated, "They are going well." These talks come after high-ranking representatives from both countries engaged in nearly seven hours of negotiations on Monday. Lutnick anticipates even longer discussions on Tuesday.
The focus in these trade talks primarily lies in export controls and the supply of rare earths. Countless industries around the globe have a high dependence on China for these valuable resources. If China were to disrupt global supply chains via restricted exports, it could significantly impact the global economy.
Rare earths are essential in manufacturing advanced technologies like electric cars, renewable energy systems, and military applications. In the past, the US government has accused China of violating its promises to supply rare earths, and recently, President Trump mentioned that his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, agreed in a telephone call to resume the delivery of minerals and magnets made from rare earths to the US. To sweeten the deal, economic advisor to the White House, Kevin Hassett, hinted that the US could relax export controls on semiconductors in return.
Since President Donald Trump's return to the White House, the US has imposed high tariffs on most trading partners, with trade relations with China escalating particularly quickly. The ensuing trade war generated a wave of uncertainty on stock markets and cast a gloom over the global economy.
The talks between the USA and China are taking place at the majestic Lancaster House near Green Park and Buckingham Palace in London. As progress unfolds in these confidential discussions, the world awaits updates with bated breath.
