Ashton: Trade Truce Extension Will Be Key Test of Trump-Xi Talks
China's rare-earth leverage could shape how long any US trade agreement extends.
What to know
- Trump and Xi are expected to meet with trade truce extension as a central issue.
- The length of any renewal matters; China holds leverage through rare-earth export restrictions.
- Ashton's analysis suggests the negotiation will test whether both sides can agree on extension terms.
“The length of any extension matters as China retains leverage through restrictions on rare-earth exports.”
