President Trump promotes U.S. soybean exports to China

An announcement overnight from President Trump is moving the agricultural commodities.

In a post to Truth Social, he says, “China is worried about its shortage of soybeans. Our great farmers produce the most robust soybeans. I hope China will quickly quadruple its soybean orders. This is also a way of substantially reducing China’s trade deficit with the USA. Rapid service will be provided. Thank you, President XI.”
