U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer raised concerns with China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng about China’s implementation of trade commitments. U.S. officials called for concrete action on agricultural purchases and other pledges, as China has been slow to buy non-soy agricultural goods despite a stated $17 billion annual commitment.
Slow Chinese purchases could limit expected export demand for U.S. farm products and weigh on prices, particularly for non-soy commodities covered by the pledge.
