Arabella Kushner, 15-year-old daughter of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, greeted Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan in Mandarin during their state visit to the White House. Arabella said "Welcome to America" at the arrival ceremony, impressing the couple who last saw her when she was six years old. During President Trump's first term, a video of young Arabella singing in Mandarin went viral in China, earning praise from Xi. At the recent dinner, Arabella wore a black floor-length gown and sat between her mother Ivanka and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

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.
