This meeting of the two leaders took place during the APEC conference in Busan city of South Korea. Trump said that China has promised to purchase large quantities of soybean and other agricultural products from America. “This is a good and credible step by President Xi,” he said.

Experts are considering this meeting as a new turning point in the direction of increasing trust and cooperation between the two countries, which can prove important for global peace and economic stability in the future.

Trump took a big step after meeting Xi Jinping

Many important decisions were taken in the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in South Korea. An agreement was reached between the two countries regarding tariffs, in which Trump announced that the duty on China would be reduced from 57% to 47%. The US President described the meeting as wonderful and said that this will further strengthen the economic relations between the two countries. He also said that China will soon resume purchasing American soybeans, which had been halted in recent months. Trump said that this decision will prove to be a big relief for American farmers and will help in maintaining trade balance.

US President Donald Trump is continuously putting pressure on the world regarding trade. In such a situation, China has now given a big blow to America. This is the first time in 7 years that China has not purchased American soybean. In the last month i.e. September 2025, China has not imported soybean from America.

According to the data shared by China, imports from America have decreased from 1.7 million metric tons to zero in the last month i.e. September 2025. Experts say that this move by China may increase the economic pressure on America, because trade tension between the two countries is continuously increasing.

turning towards other countries

Due to trade tension, China is now turning its trade towards other countries. China’s import of soybean from Brazil has increased by 29.9 percent to 10.96 million tons. That means this is about 85 percent of the total imports. At the same time, imports from Argentina have also increased by 91.5% to 1.17 million tonnes. In such a situation, leaving America aside, China is now turning towards countries like Brazil and Argentina. Its direct impact is being seen on American farmers.

An expert of Capital Jingdu Futures says that China is the world’s largest soybean importer. But the decline in imports is mainly due to tariffs. On the other hand, American farmers are facing losses worth billions of dollars due to China stopping the import of American soybeans. Experts say that if these conditions persist for a long time, the American agricultural sector may suffer a major setback.
