A new round of negotiations aimed at resolving the trade war between the US and China has begun in downtown London.
Senior US delegates including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have met with Chinese representatives such as Vice Premier He Lifeng at Lancaster House to resolve tensions between the two largest economies in the world, which threaten global growth.
China's rare earth exports, which are crucial for modern technology, as well as Beijing's access to US products, including computer chips, are expected to be key agenda items.
Last month, Washington and Beijing agreed to a temporary ceasefire on trade tariffs, but each country has since accused the other of violating the agreement.
