US EditionDeal with China Will Speed Export of Rare Earth Minerals to the U.S., Treasury Secretary Says
- On June 27, 2025, the United States and China reached a trade agreement designed to improve American companies' ability to acquire key rare earth elements and magnetic materials supplied by China.
- The deal followed China's retaliation against steep U.S. tariffs and included scaling back punitive tariff hikes that disrupted critical supply chains.
- U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the agreement includes lowering tariffs and resuming the supply of rare earth magnets to the United States.
- Bessent expressed assurance that the magnets would be supplied to U.S. companies that had previously received them regularly, in line with the established agreement.
- The agreement suggests a de-escalation in the trade war, but concerns remain about U.S. economic risks, including funding the national deficit and investment stability.
