Down in London, the trade talks are getting real intense.

China's playing hardball, hinting they might ease up on some companies needing those minerals, but don't hold your breath for them to give up control completely. President Trump's all like, "I'm getting good reports," but he's not pulling any punches, saying "China is not easy" to deal with. You can feel the tension in the air!

And guess what? While all this is going down, the U.S. and India are making some serious headway in their own trade talks. Sources from the Indian side are saying the discussions were super productive, diving deep into industrial and agricultural goods. It's like a trade party that just won't quit!
