US and China agree deal on rare-earth shipments

The news sent US stock markets to fresh highs amid news of wider efforts to end the trade wars between the US and the world's biggest economies.

Donald Trump said on Thursday the US had signed a deal with China the previous day, without providing additional details, and that there may be a separate deal coming up that would "open up" India.

China confirmed the details of the deal yesterday, and reiterated that it would continue to approve the export permits of controlled items.
