Trade talks between the US and China will continue into a second day, according to a US official, as the two sides look to ease tensions over shipments of technology and rare earth elements.

Representatives for both nations ended their first day of negotiations in London after more than six hours at Lancaster House, a 19th century mansion near Buckingham Palace. The talks concluded around 8 p.m. London time and will resume Tuesday in the British capital, the official said.
“We are doing well with China. China’s not easy,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday. “I’m only getting good reports.”

Gracelin Baskaran, Director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies discusses the importance of rare earth materials to American defense and economic initiatives.
