US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said he anticipates that China would commit to billions in American agricultural purchases, as Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping complete their summit in Beijing.

“We expect to also see an agreement for double-digit billion purchases of ags over the next three years, per year, coming out of this visit, and that’s more general, that’s aggregate, that’s not just soybeans, that’s everything else,” Greer told Bloomberg Television in an interview on Friday.
