President Donald Trump on Monday touted the outlines of an agreement between the US and China to reduce trade tensions between the two countries, painting the agreement as a major win for the US.
“China has agreed to buy massive amounts of ADDITIONAL Farm/Agricultural Products – would be one of the best things to happen to our farmers in many years!” Trump said.
But analysts and even Trump’s supporters critiqued the parameters for so far remaining vague. It’s unclear, for instance, how China’s promised increased purchases of US goods will be executed.
