Recent developments have also seen China agreeing to resume the flow of rare earth minerals to the U.S., addressing a critical supply chain concern. However, challenges remain, including a 34% year-on-year drop in China's exports to the U.S. in May, highlighting ongoing trade tensions. (reuters.com, ft.com)
