# The $30 Billion Handshake That Hasn't Cleared Customs

> A U.S.-China Board of Trade meeting on November 13 produced no changes to tariff rates, and China's ministry did not confirm any agreements. The $30 billion-for-$30 billion tariff-cut framework remains unimplemented, with meaningful relief likely delayed until 2027 by U.S. rulemaking.

## Why it matters

Tariff relief is not expected before 2027, so near-term US farm export competitiveness in China remains constrained. Markets may keep a risk premium on US soybeans and grains relative to Brazil.
