CNBC: Trump and XI to speak this week, but not today

CNBC is reporting that Trump and Xi are to speak this week, but not today.

Trump accused China of violating the trade agreement reached in May that lowered tariffs from 145% to 35%.

In early April 2025, China imposed export restrictions on seven heavy rare earth metals and rare earth magnets, citing national security concerns. These measures require exporters to obtain licenses, effectively reducing shipments to the U.S. and other countries. The U.S. government has accused China of violating a recent trade agreement by continiing to withhold these essential materials, leading to heightened tensions between the two nations (and the potential for more inflation.

Trump issued a terse statement/warning to China last week.

This is not over and is a threat to inflation.
