The United States and China have officially finalized a trade framework agreement to implement the Geneva and London accords reached earlier in 2025. While details remain emerging, stakeholders across industries must now prepare for strategic shifts in supply chains, trade policy, and global sourcing.
📊 Key Highlights:
1️⃣China will accelerate export approvals for rare earth minerals and magnets, essential for EVs, semiconductors, aerospace, and defense. In return, the U.S. will lift several previously imposed restrictive measures and tariffs.
2️⃣Total U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports now stand at ~55% (10% baseline + 20% fentanyl-related + 25% pre-existing tariffs), while China will maintain 10% tariffs on U.S. goods.
3️⃣Implementation mechanisms include six-month temporary licenses for mineral shipments, signaling a cautious but actionable step forward.
🔍 What It Means for Stakeholders:
1️⃣Supply Chain Security: India-based electronics, automotive, and defense irms reliant on rare earths can mitigate risk and realign sourcing strategies.
2️⃣Investment Signals: EV and semiconductor sectors may benefit from stabilized raw material access; global inventory clocks may need recalibration.
3️⃣Policy Uncertainty Looms: Though exporting resumes, significant existing tariffs remain—importers must track rapidly evolving customs and compliance norms.
4️⃣Geo‑Political Shifts: India’s emerging role as the next potential U.S. trade partner could reshape demand and investment projections across sectors.
