> 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.
