The US and China have reached a resolution in their trade dispute over rare earth metals, essential for AI development. Despite this progress, President Trump's administration is poised to escalate the AI arms race with China through executive actions.

This contradictory approach raises questions about the US's strategy in balancing trade agreements while enhancing its technological competitiveness against China.
