China said it is open to expanding purchases of U.S. farm goods but made those purchases conditional on both countries implementing agreed mutual tariff cuts worth $30 billion each. The agreement covers tariff reductions on selected goods, including U.S. agricultural products, and was negotiated at U.S.-China summits.
The stated condition leaves prospective Chinese demand for U.S. farm exports dependent on tariff implementation, so delays could limit export flows while fulfillment could support U.S. commodity demand.
