America First: Trump Secures Critical Resources from China
While Biden was busy selling America out to the highest bidder, President Trump has been hard at work cleaning up the mess. Following intensive two-day negotiations in London, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that the U.S. and China have established a framework to implement the trade agreement reached in Geneva. The deal’s primary focus? Getting China to deliver those critical rare-earth minerals and magnets that our military and technology sectors desperately need—resources the previous administration allowed China to monopolize completely.
“Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me,” Trump stated directly, once again showing his signature straightforward approach to international negotiations. Unlike the endless “diplomatic dialogues” that accomplish nothing under Democrat leadership, Trump gets results. The framework returns both countries to terms established in May but with significant American advantages baked in—exactly what you’d expect from the author of “The Art of the Deal.”

55% vs 10%: The Tariff Disparity Speaks Volumes
The mainstream media is predictably downplaying one of the most significant aspects of this agreement: the massive imbalance in tariffs that heavily favors American interests. President Trump has secured a framework where the U.S. maintains up to 55% tariffs on Chinese goods, while China is limited to just 10% on American products. This is what putting America first actually looks like—leveraging our economic might to secure favorable terms instead of bowing to foreign interests.
“The U.S. and China have reached a ‘framework’ to implement a trade deal struck between the two sides last month in Geneva,” – Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Under the agreement, China will relax its stranglehold on rare earth minerals—materials essential for everything from smartphones to fighter jets—while the U.S. will ease certain export restrictions on products like ethane and airplane parts. Notice how we’re trading access to our consumer goods while securing strategic resources? That’s called winning. And the Chinese know it, which is why they’re frantically setting six-month limits on those export licenses, hoping to renegotiate once they think Trump’s leverage has diminished.
Reading Between the Lines: China’s Desperation Shows
What’s particularly revealing is China’s desperate plea for the U.S. to ease technology restrictions. They need our technology far more than we need their manufactured goods—another point of leverage Trump is brilliantly exploiting. While Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng attempts to save face with diplomatic platitudes about “working toward each other,” the reality is clear: China blinked first in this high-stakes game of economic chicken.
“The two sides should work towards each other, keep words and follow through with actions, demonstrate sincerity in honoring commitments, and make concrete efforts to implement consensus, jointly safeguard the hard-won outcomes of dialogue, continue maintaining communication and consultation, to promote steady and sustained growth of China-U.S. economic and trade relations and inject more certainty and stability into the world economy.” – Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.
Trump’s strategy of economic pressure has forced China back to the table on terms favorable to America. Unlike the previous administration, which allowed critical supply chains to remain hostage to foreign interests, Trump’s approach reestablishes American economic sovereignty. The framework’s focus on bringing vital production back to U.S. soil demonstrates precisely why America needed Trump back in the White House—to restore our economic independence and put American workers first.
