China Delegation to Brussels to Address Rare Earth Export Restrictions

A delegation from China is scheduled to travel to Brussels in the upcoming weeks to discuss the export restrictions that Beijing has recently placed on rare earths, revealed European Council President Antonio Costa on Monday. As the leading global producer of rare minerals essential for automotive, electronic, and defense sectors, China introduced fresh measures this month to restrict their export. This decision has had global repercussions, leading US President Trump to consider imposing 100% tariffs on goods imported from China.
