President Donald Trump predicted that China would soon resume purchases of U.S. soybeans following his upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping, despite ongoing trade tensions. Speaking Thursday, Trump said he would pressure Xi to end Beijing’s months-long halt on American soybean imports. Meanwhile, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins indicated that the federal relief package for struggling farmers would not be announced until the government reopens. The Trump administration has been planning the aid as temporary support until market conditions improve. Although the U.S. and China have agreed to a trade truce, Beijing has continued sourcing soybeans from Brazil and Argentina, a move Trump described as a negotiating tactic in broader trade talks.
