"Greer stated, 'What we are not looking for is massive confrontation or anything like that with China.' He emphasized the importance of maintaining stability in the US-China economic relationship."
"'We're looking to ensure we can continue to get rare earths from the Chinese,' Greer noted, highlighting the ongoing discussions about rare earth minerals and their significance for the US economy."
"'It would be nice if we could resolve it at the ministers level and hopefully, we're in a position to do that,' Greer said regarding the rare earths issue, indicating a preference for lower-level resolutions."
"'The US is working on plurilateral agreements to boost alternative supplies of critical minerals,' Greer explained, stressing the need for price floor mechanisms to protect against potential predatory pricing by China."
The US and China have established a stable economic relationship, with the US accessing Chinese rare earth minerals while maintaining tariffs on Chinese goods. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer emphasized the importance of stability ahead of an upcoming meeting between President Trump and President Xi Jinping. Discussions on rare earths have continued at ministerial levels, with hopes to resolve issues without escalating them to the leaders' meeting. The US is also pursuing agreements to secure alternative supplies of critical minerals to mitigate risks from China.
