Chinese President Xi Jinping praised his state visit to the White House as being conducted with “perfection,” while U.S. President Donald Trump called it "very productive." Both leaders expressed optimism about their relationship, emphasizing respect and mutual benefits, despite ongoing disputes over tariffs and technology. Xi mentioned upcoming meetings at APEC in November and the G20 summit in December, suggesting continued dialogue on trade issues.

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.
