American Soybean Association encouraged by extension of US-China trade truce
The American Soybean Association announced Sept. 24 that it welcomes the two-month extension of the U.S.-China trade truce.
The group added that it looks forward to continued dialogue between the two countries.
As the high-stakes summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping continues, ASA said it hopes the discussions will build on that progress and deliver additional positive developments for U.S. soybean farmers and agricultural trade.
“Soybean farmers want to see this momentum continue with strong purchases of U.S. soy and a lasting trade partnership with China,” said Scott Metzger, the president of ASA and an Ohio soybean farmer.
The association added that it looks forward to continued progress that provides greater certainty and long-term market opportunities for U.S. soybean farmers.
