China did not provide specifics, adding that teams from both countries were still negotiating details, and the White House release was silent on tariffs.Trump previously suggested that tariffs did not come up in his meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping.Get a dash of perspective along with the trending news of the day in a very readable format.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

China failed to meet its commitments under an agreement Trump brokered in 2020 to buy an extra $200 billion in U.S. agricultural, energy and manufactured products over a two-year period. The Covid-19 pandemic complicated that effort but critics said the targets were unrealistic.The $17 billion in annual Chinese purchases of agricultural products would be in addition to soybean-purchase commitments made last fall, the White House said.China has recently turned to cheaper Brazilian soybeans after meeting an initial purchasing volume from the U.S. agreed to in last year’s trade truce between Washington and Beijing.In the wake of the summit, China restored market access for U.S. beef by renewing the expired listings of more than 400 beef facilities, according to the White House. China will also work with U.S. regulators to restore imports of American poultry.Bloomberg reported prior to the summit that China had renewed beef import licenses. Beijing let hundreds of import authorizations for U.S. meat exporters lapse amid Trump’s tariff war.The outcome shows that both countries “can find solutions to the problems through dialog and cooperation,” China’s Commerce Ministry said on Saturday, noting the terms were discussed during trade talks in South Korea ahead of Xi’s meeting with Trump.The U.S. also said China will address American concerns on the supply shortages and export restrictions tied to rare earth and other critical minerals.In the fact sheet, the White House said that both “leaders agreed Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, called to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and agreed that no country or organization can be allowed to charge tolls.” Both leaders also “confirmed their shared goal to denuclearize North Korea.” During his flight back to the U.S. from Asia, Trump said he had discussed lifting sanctions on Chinese oil companies that buy Iranian oil.The White House also reiterated plans for Xi to visit the U.S. this fall.— With assistance from Sam Kim and Jordan Fabian.Our website is the place for the latest breaking news, exclusive scoops, longreads and provocative commentary.
