#USChinaTradeTalks

US-China trade talks are currently underway in London, aiming to resolve ongoing disputes and shore up a fragile tariff truce. Key sticking points include China's restrictions on rare earth mineral exports, vital for US industries, and US export controls on advanced technology, particularly semiconductors and AI chips, which China views as discriminatory.

A recent 90-day tariff pause, agreed upon in Geneva, temporarily reduced tariffs but both sides accuse the other of breaches. The US seeks consistent rare earth supplies, while China pushes for eased tech restrictions and student visa access. The outcome of these high-stakes negotiations will significantly impact both economies and global trade.
