Trade Tensions Easing? US and China Back at the Table

The United States and China have resumed high-level trade talks, aiming to cool down rising tensions that have affected global markets. Held in London, the latest round of negotiations focuses on rare-earth minerals, semiconductors, and the potential extension of a temporary tariff truce. Rare-earth supplies, crucial for electric vehicles and tech products, were restricted by China earlier this year, putting pressure on Western industries. Meanwhile, the U.S. is balancing these talks with tight controls on chip exports. Although a full trade agreement is unlikely soon, both sides are signaling a desire to stabilize economic ties. These #USChinaTradeTalks could shape the future of global supply chains and investor confidence.
