特朗普称，没有理由在韩国APEC会议上与习近平会面“中国正在发生一些非常奇怪的事情！他们正变得极具敌意，并向世界各国发函，声称他们要对与稀土相关的每一种生产要素，以及几乎所有他们能想到的其他任何东西，实施出口管制——哪怕这些东西并非在中国制造。从来没有人见过这样的事情，但从本质上讲，这将会‘堵塞’市场，让世界上几乎每个国家，尤其是中国自己，都日子难过。我们已经接到了其他国家的联系，他们对这种凭空出现的巨大贸易敌意感到极为愤怒。过去六个月里，我们与中国的关系一直很好，这使得他们在贸易上的这一举动更令人惊讶。我一直觉得他们是在伺机而动，而现在，像往常一样，我被证明是正确的！绝不能允许中国将世界当作“人质”，但这似乎是他们酝酿已久的计划，从‘磁铁’和其他一些他们已悄然积累成某种垄断地位的元素开始——至少可以说，这是一个相当阴险和敌对的举动。但是，美国也拥有垄断地位，比中国的要强大得多，影响也深远得多。我只是没有选择使用它们，我从来没有理由这么做——直到现在！他们发来的信函长达数页，并极其具体地详细列出了他们想要对其他国家禁运的每一种元素。过去习以为常的事情现在已完全不再寻常。我没有与习主席通话，因为没有理由这么做。 ...
