Investing.com -- The United States and China have confirmed the details of a trade agreement initially reached earlier this month in London, which will implement the Geneva consensus, according to a statement from China’s Ministry of Commerce released Friday afternoon.
A ministry spokesperson said China will review and approve export applications for items subject to export control rules, while the U.S. will cancel a range of existing restrictive measures imposed on China.
The statement came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump said at a White House event on Thursday that both sides had signed a trade deal, without providing further details.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Bloomberg Television on Thursday that “that deal was signed and sealed two days ago,” though he did not elaborate on the terms.
Lutnick also reiterated that the U.S. is close to finalizing a trade deal with India.
The trade understanding will include provisions for China to supply rare earth materials to the United States, while the U.S. will lift restrictions on ethane exports to China.
Trump initially announced the deal on June 11th, posting on Truth Social, "Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me. Full magnets, and any necessary rare earths, will be supplied, up front, by China. Likewise, we will provide to China what was agreed to... We are getting a total of 55% tariffs, China is getting 10%," the President said.
The finalization of this trade agreement comes as both nations continue to navigate their complex economic relationship, which has fluctuated amid a shifting trade landscape.
