Workers transport imported soybeans at a port in Nantong, eastern China’s Jiangsu Province, in this file photo. China on Wednesday made its first major purchases of U.S. soybeans since U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping struck a trade spat truce earlier this month. Soybeans are the single most valuable U.S. agricultural export product and China bought 60 percent of those exports in 2017. But China has been out of the market since it imposed a tariff on U.S. soy imports in July in retaliation for U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods. SD-Agencies
