The resumption of soybean trade is expected to be a key talking point in President Trump’s talks with President Xi.
In a sign of hope, Beijing has bought its first tranche of American soybeans this season, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
If a deal is sealed, it would be a huge win for Trump and American farmers.
China has been the world’s biggest buyer of soybeans but stopped ordering from the US as the trade war heated up.
