“China and the United States have agreed to continue talks in Washington next week after two days of negotiations in Beijing produced “progress”, but not enough to finalise a deal to end the trade war.
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday urged for a mutually beneficial deal in next week’s talks, while seated at the head of a long table of Chinese and American negotiators including US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. ( and former governor of Iowa.. now current US ambassador to China.. Terry Branstad )
“I hope you can make persistent efforts to push forward an agreement that can benefit both sides,” Xi was quoted as saying by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. “We all think that in terms of maintaining the prosperity and stability of the world, as well as promoting global economic prosperity and development, our two countries share broad mutual interest.”
I see where the Chinese have booked and are shipping the 3 mmts of soybeans agreed to in December..

The trader said China was seeking to buy a total of 2.5 million to 3 million tonnes of U.S. soybeans.

Now where is the 7 mmts of wheat they promised to buy?

“If you’re looking for a glimmer of hope that China’s trade talks with the U.S. are still on track, how about this: The country is considering buying as much as 7 million metric tons of American wheat, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg News. That follows a report in December that it may buy up to 3 million tons of corn from the U.S., too.”

Shouldn’t they make good on that before we continue talks?
