China ties more US farm imports to reciprocal tariff cuts
Beijing said tariff cuts must be finalized first, as China has bought only $7.2 billion in other U.S. farm goods this year, Reuters analysis found.
- On Thursday, China's Commerce Ministry stated it remains open to increasing United States agricultural purchases, provided both nations finalize and implement reciprocal tariff cuts on $60 billion worth of goods.
- Following a September summit in Washington, Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump proposed the $60 billion reciprocal tariff cut package to stabilize bilateral trade relations.
- China purchased only $7.2 billion of non-soy United States agricultural products between January and September, according to Reuters analysis; the pace falls short of annual targets.
- Uncertainty persists over when the $17 billion non-soy purchase timeline begins, as The White House has not clarified whether it started with May's announcement or upon tariff finalization.
- Commerce Ministry spokesperson Huang Ling stated during a briefing that China hopes the United States can work together to "create favourable conditions" for agricultural trade between the two countries.
