Chinese leader Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump are set to meet later this month in yet another bid to stabilize the relationship—and extend a a truce struck last fall. The planned Sept. 24 meeting in Washington D.C., which Beijing has still yet to confirm, will mark Xi’s first trip to the capitol in more than a decade. It follows Trump’s trip to Beijing last May, when the two dialed down tensions following months of tariff threats and, among other things, export restrictions.

Today's move appears linked to President Donald Trump's late-Thursday announcement of tariffs on drone imports and components. Drones are becoming a significant source of demand for rare earth magnets. Sentiment has been turning positive for rare earth stocks, driven by Trump administration support, corporate milestones, and agreements to supply defense contractors.

United States Antimony just watched most of its 2026 gains evaporate in a single session, and the guidance cut behind the collapse raises a bigger question: is this an isolated antimony-price shock or a warning sign for the entire domestic critical-minerals trade?

USA Rare Earth is scaling a non-China rare earth chain, with Serra Verde, Stillwater magnet sales and Round Top milestones driving its next phase.

Rare earth stocks have been a ticket for riding a roller coaster for over a year, but the latest descent has been particularly brutal.

MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Critical Metals, Energy Fuels and American Resources all fell by more than 10% last week and some stocks continued to fall on Monday.

USA Rare Earth named Serra Verde Group Chief Executive Thras Moraitis to lead the company following the completion of a $2.8 billion combination of the two mining companies.
