China resumes US soybean purchases after Trump-Xi summit tariff cuts

Chinese state buyers purchased 8-10 Panamax soybean shipments from the US this week, following tariff reductions announced at the September Trump-Xi summit. This marks a resumption of large-scale purchases after a period of reduced buying, signaling a de-escalation in trade tensions. The move is a concrete step toward normalizing agricultural trade between the two largest economies.
