Trump says US gets rare earth minerals from China in trade deal, tariffs on Chinese goods go to 55%
- President Donald Trump and Chinese officials unveiled a trade deal framework on Wednesday following extensive discussions held over two days in London.
- The agreement followed a near halt in trade due to Trump's previous imposition of tariffs up to 145% on Chinese imports.
- The agreement establishes a 55% tariff on goods imported from China into the U.S. and a 10% tariff on American products entering China, with China also agreeing to provide rare earth minerals essential for technology manufacturing.
- Officials confirmed that the tariff rates will remain fixed without additional hikes, but many U.S. importers indicate that the 55% rate continues to be prohibitively expensive, preventing them from returning to full purchasing levels.
- The agreement suggests reduced trade tensions but experts warn increased tariffs will raise costs for American consumers and businesses, while the deal still awaits final approval by presidents Trump and Xi.
