China Export Curbs Prompt Trump Threats

Chinese President Xi Jinping drew a firm red line as China unveiled sweeping global export controls on products containing even traces of certain rare earths, aiming to stem new US restrictions. In response, Donald Trump threatened to cancel a planned in-person meeting with Xi — their first in six years — and said he would double tariffs on Chinese goods to 100%, along with sweeping curbs on “any and all critical software.” With only weeks before the planned talks, the exchange raised the risk of a renewed tit-for-tat trade spiral.
