The U.S.-China rare earths agreement remains in effect, as both sides are currently negotiating its extension.

Media: U.S.-China Rare Earth Agreement Still Valid, Extension Issue Under Negotiation

Reuters cited a senior U.S. official on Sunday, May 10, stating that the rare earth agreement reached last year between the United States and China in Busan, South Korea, remains currently valid, with both sides continuing negotiations on whether to extend the agreement's term, and any decision will be announced at the "appropriate time."

The unnamed U.S. official told reporters: "The rare earth agreement is still valid and has not yet expired."

He added that discussions between the U.S. and China are ongoing, but it is still unclear whether the agreement will be extended. The official said: "I believe any potential extension decision will be publicly announced at the appropriate time."
