China will resume purchasing soybeans from the U.S. after the Asian nation had been boycotting doing so for months. Ahead of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday, the Trump administration announced that China had bought three U.S. soybean cargoes, according to Reuters.
