# Trump-Xi Meeting Puts U.S. Soybean and Sorghum Trade in Focus - RFD-TV

> U.S. agriculture groups are looking ahead to the Trump-Xi meeting in Washington, with soybean and sorghum trade at the centre of the talks. The National Sorghum Producers want China to remove its 10% retaliatory tariff and commit to buying 5 to 7 million tonnes a year. Analysts expect soybean markets to be volatile depending on the meeting's outcome, with China's purchase commitment of 25 million tonnes only partly fulfilled.

## Why it matters

A trade deal removing tariffs or locking in purchases would support U.S. soybean and sorghum prices, while a failed meeting would likely pressure them.
