China has lifted its export ban to the United States on three critical metals, the country's Commerce Department said, according to several media outlets. These are the metals gallium, germanium and antimony.

The export ban, announced in December 2024, will be lifted through November 27, 2026, according to the Commerce Department, Reuters reports.

The three metals are used in various forms of electronics, such as semiconductors.

Sunday's decision comes two weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in South Korea to sign a trade deal, in which the presidents agreed to lower tariffs and lift other trade restrictions for a year.
