WASHINGTON, June 6 – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to let rare earth minerals and magnets flow to the United States, a move that could lower tensions between the world’s biggest economies.

Asked by a reporter aboard Air Force One whether Xi had agreed to do so, Trump replied: “Yes, he did.”

The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump’s comment came one day after a rare call with Xi aimed at resolving trade tensions that have been brewing over the topic for weeks.
