The United States is looking to restore the flow of “crucial” rare earth minerals, which were restricted after China’s retaliatory efforts in early April.

By Trevor Hunnicutt and Ryan Patrick Jones WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Three of U.S. President Donald Trump's top aides will meet with their Chinese counterparts in London on Monday for talks aimed at resolving a trade dispute between the world's two largest economies that has kept global markets on edge.

US-China trade talks in London this week are expected to take up a series of fresh disputes that have buffeted relations, threatening a fragile truce over tariffs. Both sides agreed in Geneva last month to a 90-day suspension of most of the 100%-plus tariffs they had imposed on each other in an escalating trade war that had sparked fears of recession.
