Nick Koreshi: 我报道称，中国和美国就稀土矿物达成协议，旨在结束两国之间的贸易战。这一协议为加快中国向美国出口稀土奠定了基础，这对于缓解两国之间的贸易紧张关系具有重要意义。双方的谈判代表为此付出了巨大的努力，希望能够通过合作解决贸易争端，实现互利共赢的局面。我相信，这一协议的达成将为全球经济的稳定和发展做出积极贡献。 Jake Kwan: 我指出，美国此前指责中国停止出口现代机械所需的关键稀有元素，而中国则反过来指责美国停止销售半导体芯片。这种相互指责反映了两国在贸易领域的深刻矛盾。然而，最近双方似乎最终敲定了一个框架协议，这对结束贸易战的国家来说是个好兆头。尽管如此，这仅仅是中间步骤，最终达成协议还需要一段时间，双方仍需克服许多障碍。 Ursula von der Leyen: 我提到欧盟正在密切关注美中贸易谈判的进展，并为自身与美国的贸易关系做准备。欧盟正在考虑所有可能的方案，以应对与美国贸易谈判可能出现的结果。我们希望能够与美国达成公平互利的贸易协议，但也做好了应对各种挑战的准备。欧盟将继续致力于维护自身的利益，并在国际贸易中发挥积极作用。

How has the conflict affected a region so dependent on the Strait? And, European leaders have been gathering in Brussels to decide on a common negotiating position toward the Trump administration.
