# China Commitments and Congressional Agendas

> The principals of the U.S.-China Board of Trade, USTR Greer, Treasury Secretary Bessent and Vice Premier He Lifeng, discussed the trade deal, with Washington pressing China to fully and immediately implement its commitments, including agricultural purchases. China conditioned purchases on tariff reductions under a 30-for-30 framework, and a forecast suggests China will fall about $10 billion short of its $17 billion farm purchase pledge for 2026.

## Why it matters

A likely shortfall in Chinese farm purchases removes expected demand for U.S. soybeans and other grains, which is bearish for U.S. soybean prices unless a tariff deal revives buying.
