U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer urged Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng to promptly fulfill commitments under the 2025 U.S.-China trade arrangement. U.S. officials highlighted promised purchases of American farm goods as well as commitments involving rare earths and other critical minerals.
If China falls short of its farm-purchase commitments, expected export demand for U.S. agricultural goods may not materialize, limiting support for prices; fulfillment could improve demand prospects.
