The United States and China will hold the second round of trade talks in London on Monday. The focus will be on export controls instead of tariffs.

In recent weeks, both countries have sought to restrict each other's access to critical supply chain elements that they dominate. While the Trump administration has sought to limit China's access to semiconductors, jet engines, and certain chemicals and machinery, China has restricted the supply of rare earths, which are critical for manufacturing virtually everything from cars to fighter jets and electronic chips.
