According to a South China Morning Post report on October 8 citing people familiar with the matter, when Trump met Xi Jinping in Washington in September, he urged China to lift export restrictions to Japan including rare earths, saying they threatened US industry and violated the China-US Busan trade truce agreement, and also pushed for a meeting between Xi Jinping and Takaichi Sanae, but Xi Jinping did not respond actively, instead warning of an increased risk of the rise of Japanese militarism.
