China's earlier suspension of exports, viewed as an aggressive tactic in the trade war with the U.S., could have drastic effects on sectors reliant on these materials. Discussions between Presidents Trump and Xi are expected to address these pressing issues, especially as shipments remain halted under new regulatory frameworks being drafted.
