The commitment was made during meetings between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping last ​week, the White House said.

The $17 billion figure does not ​include the soybean purchase commitments China made in October ⁠2025, the White House said.

There has been a marked reduction ​in US agricultural exports to China after last year’s rounds of ​tit-for-tat tariffs sharply curtailed trade, which fell 65.7% year-on-year to $8.4 billion in 2025, according to US Department of Agriculture data.

China has dramatically scaled back its ​reliance on US farm goods since Trump’s first term, sourcing ​roughly 20% of its soybeans from the US in 2024, the year before ‌he ⁠returned to office, down from 41% in 2016.

China will work with US regulators to lift suspensions of US beef facilities and resume imports of poultry from US states determined to be ​free of avian ​influenza, the ⁠White House said.

Confirming earlier statements from the Chinese government, the White House also said on Sunday the ​world’s two largest economies would establish a US-China ​Board of ⁠Trade and the U.S.-China Board of Investment.

The boards will resolve concerns over market access for agricultural products and expand trade “under a ⁠reciprocal ​tariff-reduction framework,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi ​said in a statement last week.
