China rare earth exports to US fall 20% ahead of Trump-Xi summit

Chinese rare earth shipments to the US dropped 20% month-on-month in August, according to trade data, as Washington pressures Beijing over critical mineral supplies.

This development raises supply-chain risk for US defense and tech sectors.
