3:46Now PlayingUS President Donald Trump expressed confidence a talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping could ease fresh trade tensions, after White House officials vented anger over Beijing’s pace of issuing promised export licenses.
The dust-up threatened to again upend trade relations between the world’s two largest economies, which have been held together by a fragile, weeks-old tariff truce.
“They violated a big part of the agreement we made,” Trump told reporters Friday in the Oval Office. “But I’m sure that I’ll speak to President Xi, and hopefully we’ll work that out.”
It’s unclear if Xi would agree to a conversation with Trump. The last known call between the two leaders took place days before the US president’s inauguration in January.
While Trump didn’t explicitly detail his frustrations, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer earlier Friday accused Beijing of failing to comply with elements of the trade agreement brokered earlier this month in Geneva, and complained that China had not sped exports of critical minerals needed for cutting-edge electronics.
“We haven’t seen the flow of some of those critical minerals as they were supposed to be doing,” Greer said. “China continues to, you know, slow down and choke off things like critical minerals and rare Earth magnets.”
