# Deal vs Deal? US, China trade calls to honour commitments before Trump-Xi summit

> Ahead of the Trump-Xi summit in Shenzhen, US officials urged China to honor previous commitments on agricultural purchases and rare-earth exports during a call with Vice-Premier He Lifeng. Beijing separately pressed Washington to implement reciprocal tariff cuts on $30 billion of products per side, tying that to further purchases of US farm goods.

## Why it matters

The dispute puts prospective Chinese purchases of US agricultural products at risk or in play, depending on whether the two sides reach agreement. Any delay could weigh on US export demand; a deal could support prices for export-oriented commodities.
