Trump's Trade Talks: A New Deal with China?
China, QingdaoFri Jun 27 2025
Trump has been talking about a new trade agreement with China. He mentioned this deal during a recent interview, but he didn't share any specifics. The Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, also confirmed that a deal was signed earlier in the week. However, neither Trump nor Lutnick gave any details about what was agreed upon.
This isn't the first time Trump has talked about a trade deal with China. A couple of weeks ago, he announced another agreement that was supposed to make it easier for American companies to get important materials like magnets and rare earth minerals. That deal also allowed trade talks to keep going and stopped the U. S. from trying to take away visas from Chinese students in the U. S.
But it's not clear if this new deal is different from the one Trump talked about earlier. China's Commerce Ministry said that both sides had confirmed the details of the framework, but they didn't mention anything about the U. S. getting access to rare earths.
It's important to note that trade deals can be complicated and have a big impact on both countries. It's not just about the materials or products being traded, but also about the rules and agreements that come with them. For example, the earlier deal included an agreement to stop revoking visas of Chinese nationals on U. S. college campuses.
So, while Trump is talking about a new deal with China, it's not clear what exactly was agreed upon. And even if a deal was signed, it's important to remember that the details matter. It's not just about the headline, but about what's actually in the agreement.
