China Aims to Buy $17 Billion in U.S. Farm Goods Annually Through 2028

At the Beijing summit, the White House says China pledged to purchase at least $17 billion of U.S. agricultural products annually through 2028, in addition to prior soybean commitments; China’s readout says talks include measures like mutually cutting levies, but no tariff details were released and Trump says tariffs weren’t discussed. Analysts warn the pledge may be hard to fulfill given past Phase One targets. U.S. ag exports to China were about $24 billion in 2024, with 2025 shipments to China at roughly $8.3 billion amid tensions.

White House officials touted agricultural commitments and a new bilateral framework, but analysts warn these are non-binding and could evolve slowly, with past promises having dissolved amid tensions. Any tariff relief appears limited to a small portion of trade, and lasting gains depend on further negotiations over weeks and months.
