> China is removing its 11% value-added tax on U.S. DDGS, effective immediately, according to government officials after talks between Presidents Trump and Xi. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed in January remain in place. China imported 6.5 million tonnes of DDGS in 2015, about 51% of U.S. DDGS exports.
