Trump administration claims successes in China in ‘Phase One’ pact  (Agri-pulse)

October 24, 2020


Agri-pulse published an article on where trade stands at the end of the phase one pact between China and the United States. The United States Trade Representative says that China has purchased more than 23.6 billion of an expected 36.5 billion in US farm commodities. However, it is incomplete as shipments have not gone out. Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber says, “We definitely haven’t shipped that much yet. It’s unclear whether all those sales will come in 2020, so I don’t know how solid that number is.”
