US & China Race to Avert Trade War Ahead of Trump-Xi Summit

US and Chinese negotiators are meeting in Malaysia this weekend in a last-ditch effort to stop a trade war from spinning out of control and pave the way for a crucial summit between President Trump and leader Xi Jinping in South Korea next week.

The Stakes Are High:

  • Rare Earths vs. Tariffs: China’s new restrictions on rare earths (critical minerals for everything from phones to F-35s) have triggered an explosive response from Washington. President Trump is threatening to slap an additional 100% tariffs on Chinese goods and expand export curbs on critical US software.
  • The Truce is Shattered: The meeting aims to restore the fragile trade truce that was in place after both sides fired “the latest shots” this month.
  • Leaders’ Meeting on the Line: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said “everything is on the table” if a deal can’t be reached on rare earths, which could determine if the Trump-Xi “pull-aside” even happens.

The crowded agenda also includes securing China’s commitment to buy US soybeans and talks on Russia’s war in Ukraine. Failure to de-escalate this weekend risks a dramatic and costly economic spiral.

  1. Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
