China is the world&#8217;s biggest consumer of copper. <\/p>\n<p>The company also operates the Grasberg mine in Indonesia, which is the world&#8217;s largest gold mine and second-largest copper mine.<\/p>\n<p>Though a much smaller economy than China, Indonesia&#8217;s place in the world is of growing importance, Adkerson said, though &#8220;over the years, the appreciation of the strategic importance of Indonesia within the U.S has not been adequate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One sign that this appreciation is beginning to change was Biden&#8217;s meeting at the start of this week in Washington with Indonesian President Joko Widodo as part of preparations for the APEC summit, Adkerson said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All reports are that was an excellent meeting, despite the issues of the Mideast, that are very important and challenging,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Jokowi, as the president is popularly known, at that meeting pressed Biden to do more to stop Israel&#8217;s bombing of Gaza. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Indonesia I know wants to have good relationships with the U.S., they want good relationships with China,&#8221; said Adkerson. &#8220;The U.S. needs to give attention, consideration and support for countries like Indonesia, and we&#8217;ll be better off for it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investing.com\/news\/commodities-news\/freeport-ceo-encouraged-by-signs-of-uschina-thaw-3237159\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) &#8211;
