Trump Notes China Not Buying US Ag Products

President Donald Trump took to Twitter Thursday, noting that China has not made purchases of U.S. ag products that he says were promised by Chinese President Xi Jinping. "Mexico is doing great at the Border, but China is letting us down in that they have not been buying the agricultural products from our great Farmers that they said they would," Trump said. "Hopefully they will start soon!" China has not confirmed the pledge, and neither side has documented the discussion. Reports that the U.S. is working on a list of commodities for China to purchase are tentative at best. Earlier, China said trade talks will resume "on a basis of equality and mutual respect," and that its core concerns must be addressed.
