China is buying U.S. soybeans again — but falling short of goal set by Trump trade agreement

China has resumed purchasing U.S. soybeans, a positive sign for American farmers, but these purchases are not robust enough to meet the targets set in the 'Phase One' trade agreement signed under the Trump administration. This indicates a partial, rather than full, recovery in agricultural trade relations between the two economic powers, potentially due to lingering trade tensions and China diversified sourcing.
