Officials began implementing trade commitments, including tariff relief, agricultural purchases and export controls, as the two sides seek to stabilize relations.

- Following the October 2025 trade truce, Chinese state-owned firms Sinograin and COFCO purchased 12 million metric tons of United States soybeans, signaling ongoing commercial commitment.
- Exports of rare earth compounds to the United States and Japan declined 58 percent in the ten months following the truce, while global exports increased 146 percent.
