President Trump recently expressed his frustrations on social media regarding the stalled trade talks with China. He noted that China, led by President Xi Jinping, is a tough negotiator, emphasizing the challenges in reaching a permanent trade agreement. Last month, the US and China agreed to a temporary rollback of tariffs, reducing US tariffs from 145% to 30% and Chinese tariffs from 125% to 10%. However, recent comments revealed that China has been slow to adhere to its side of the deal, particularly concerning the rollback of strict mineral export restrictions, which are crucial given China's dominance in the global supply of rare earth elements used in various technologies. Analysts suggest that these ongoing negotiations reflect broader US-China economic tensions, underscoring the complexities of international trade and technology control.
