Story summary

Before the Xi-Trump summit last week, analysts expected soybeans to be included in tariff-reduced arrangements between China and the U.S., but China excluded them from a tariff-reduction list released on September 28, 2026, despite cutting tariffs on other agricultural goods like corn, wheat, meat, and dairy. This decision disappointed American farmers, such as John Bartman, an Illinois-based soybean farmer who called it "a missed opportunity." U.S. soybeans still face an additional tariff of 10%, which traders say is too high for private crushers to absorb, even as Chinese state buyers have stepped up purchases. Despite this exclusion, both sides agreed to form a trade council to discuss reciprocal tariff cuts on $30 billion worth of products and stabilize economic ties.

🔮 Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, SpaceXAI, and Nvidia would not disclose to the Washington Examiner whether they plan to rename their companies or products, or otherwise adopt Trump’s preferred terminology after the president signed an executive order this week directing the federal government to replace “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence.”
🔮 “In other words, we’re doing a phenomenal job, but maybe by a combination of things, maybe we’re doing a bad job in selling it,” Trump told a crowd at a factory in Texas.
🔮 President Donald Trump is leaning into transactional politics in the final month of the 2026 midterm campaign, tying his administration directly to economic benefits in states that could determine control of Congress.
🔮 There are several positive economic indicators that President Donald Trump and Republicans could run on, but few are speaking on them on the campaign trail.
🔮 Trump also mentioned a committee to manage AI development, but it is unclear whether that is different from the task force and czar he announced last week, though the president added he would name the czar in “the next three or four days.”
🔮 Now they probably would like to buy it because we do make better equipment than them, so maybe it’s a good idea.
🔮 Some Republicans say Trump knows he may not be an asset in battleground states, hence his travels to more comfortable territory.
🔮 “We made it very clear to them weeks ago that any help that they would give Iran — whether it be direct or indirect, whether it be intelligence or parts or military equipment — was totally unacceptable,” Perdue said.
🔮 Amid reports that Trump asked Xi not to keep helping Iran amid the United States’s war with the Iranian regime, the U.S. president confirmed the two world leaders spoke about Tehran and said, “I think we’re going to do great” when asked whether the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened soon.
🔮 President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping may have just said goodbye to one another after Xi’s state visit to the U.S., but the two superpower world leaders have already pledged to meet two more times before the end of the year.
