China agrees to buy billions in US agricultural goods after Trump-Xi summit

trade policy

China has agreed to purchase at least $17 billion worth of U.S. agricultural products annually through 2028, the White House announced Sunday. This agreement follows President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing last week.

According to the White House, China has agreed to increase its imports of various U.S. agricultural products, specifically including beef and poultry.

The deal arrives amid a period of decline in trade. Data from the Department of Agriculture show that China's imports of U.S. agricultural goods peaked at $38 billion in 2022 but fell to $8 billion in 2025.

Questions persist about whether these latest pledges will be fulfilled, as previous efforts by President Trump to encourage China to purchase more U.S. goods have fallen short.
