In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump suggested that China should &#8220;quadruple&#8221; its soybean orders, noting that this action would also substantially reduce China&#8217;s trade deficit with the United States. He promised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/food-stamps-february-payments-to-colorado-residents-worth-up-to-1751-begin-in-eight-days\/\" title=\"Colorado residents will receive food stamps worth up to ,751 starting in eight days\">expedited service<\/a> for any orders made and thanked Chinese President Xi Jinping. <\/p>\n<p>This call comes amid the impending expiration of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >tariffs previously imposed<\/a> on Chinese goods, with discussions ongoing about the next steps regarding these trade measures. China imports over 60% of the world&#8217;s soybeans, primarily from the U.S. and Brazil, but has reduced its imports from the U.S. since 2018. Vice President J.D. Vance acknowledged on Fox News that no final decision about tariffs has been made, recognizing the complexity of U.S.-China relations beyond trade issues.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump encourages China to buy US soybeans as Asian nation faces shortage<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2200092\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> encouraged China to buy soybeans from the U.S. to address the Asian country&rsquo;s crop shortages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-says-he-wont-pull-tanden-nomination-as-key-dem-refuses-support-over-partisan-concerns\/\" title=\"Biden Says He Won\u2019t Pull Tanden Nomination As Key Dem Refuses Support Over \u2018Partisan\u2019 Concerns\">president suggested<\/a> that the country &ldquo;quadruple&rdquo; its orders in a post to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/truth-social\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Truth Social<\/a> account on Sunday night.
