After the call between China and the US, Trump wrote: "We had a very pleasant conversation and discussed some details of the trade agreement that we recently reached and agreed upon. The call lasted about one and a half hours and ultimately reached a very positive agreement for both countries. Regarding the complexity of rare earth products, there should be no more doubts. Our respective teams will meet soon at a pending location. Our representatives include Treasury Secretary Scott Besen, Commerce Secretary Howard Rutnik, and U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamison Greer. During the call, the Chinese side warmly invited me and my wife to visit China, and I also issued an invitation. As two great nations... we are both looking forward to it. This meeting was almost entirely focused on trade issues and did not discuss Russia/Ukraine or Iran issues. We will announce the specific arrangements and locations of the upcoming meeting to the media. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
[Wit] Comment: Trump continues to maintain an optimistic posture as usual. Next, the negotiations between both sides will attract much attention. However, it must be recognized that the contradictions and differences between both sides remain prominent. The United States is highly dependent on China's rare earth, which may be a key factor why Trump urgently wanted to communicate with China. In future negotiations, the rhythm will firmly be in our hands, and the negotiation process may not be as optimistic as Trump said.
