China Calls on U.S. to “Abide by” London Trade Deal
(MENAFN) On Thursday, China called on the United States to “abide by” the consensus forged during recent London trade talks, following President Donald Trump’s claim that a deal with Beijing was already “done.”
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian emphasized the need for both parties to adhere to the agreement reached. “Now that a consensus has been reached, both sides should abide by it,” Lin told reporters in Beijing.
Lin’s remarks came in response to Trump’s announcement that full magnets, and “any necessary” rare earths “will be supplied, up front, by China.”
The comments follow the conclusion of two days of high-level trade negotiations between Beijing and Washington in the UK late Tuesday.
“The China-US trade meeting was held under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, and the two sides reached a consensus in principle on the framework of measures to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state in their phone call on June 5 and consolidate the results of the Geneva economic and trade talks, and made new progress in resolving the economic and trade concerns of both sides,” Lin explained regarding the London talks’ outcomes.
He added, “It is hoped that the US will work with China to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their phone call, give full play to the role of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism, enhance consensus, reduce misunderstandings and strengthen cooperation through communication and dialogue.”
Lin concluded by reaffirming China’s commitment: Beijing “always honors its commitments with concrete actions.”
