- On June 9, 2025, U.S. and Chinese officials concluded two days of trade negotiations in London, agreeing on a framework to implement a May consensus on easing tariffs and export restrictions.
- The talks followed retaliatory export controls by China on rare-earth minerals in April against high U.S. tariffs and a rare June 5 phone call between Presidents Trump and Xi reinforcing the earlier Geneva agreement.
- Negotiators, including U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, emphasized resolving rare earths and magnets export issues crucial for technology products like smartphones and electric vehicles.
- U.S. officials described the talks as "productive" with Lutnick stating the framework "puts meat on the bones" of the Geneva deal but acknowledged differences remain on trade policies and implementation speed.
- The agreement aims to stabilize trade and remove China’s export curbs, yet observers caution that durable resolution is uncertain as both sides await leadership approval and further detailed negotiations.
