US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to allow the rare land and magnets to flow to the United States, a step that may reduce tensions between the largest economies of the world.

Trump asked: “Yes, he did this on Airad Force One if something had agreed to that,” Yes, he did that. “

The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump’s comment came one day after a rare invitation with XI aimed at solving commercial tensions that were brewing on this topic for weeks.

At that time, Trump said there was a “very positive conclusion” of conversations, adding that “there are no longer any questions that respect the complexity of rare ground products.”

Another sign of reducing tensions on this issue, China gave temporary export licenses to rare land suppliers from the three best US auto companies, two sources familiar with the matter said.

The best US President’s assistant to meet their Chinese counterparts in London will meet on Monday for more talks.

“We are very advanced in the China deal,” Trump told reporters on Friday.

Countries concluded an agreement on May 12 in Geneva, Switzerland, to retreat for a period of 90 days, most of the triple tariffs of the triple number, which they put on each other since the opening of Trump in January. The financial markets that were concerned about commercial turmoil increased on the news.

But China’s decision in April to suspend exports of a wide range of minerals and vital magnets continued to disable the supplies needed by auto manufacturers, computer chips and military contractors around the world.

Trump accused China of violating the Geneva Convention and ordering restrictions on chip design programs and other shipments to China. Beijing refused to claim and threaten counter -measures.

Rare land and other critical minerals are a source of financial lever for China, as Trump can be exposed to local political pressure if economic growth decreases because companies cannot make metal -powered products.

Since his return to the White House in January, Trump has repeatedly threatened with a set of punitive measures on commercial partners, only to cancel some of them at the last minute. The approach around it has led to world leaders to world leaders and business executives.
