U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said China is starting to fulfill its "promises" as President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in Beijing. During a state dinner at the Great Hall of the People on Thursday, Greer indicated China has committed to expanding purchases of American farm goods and airplanes.

The meeting represents a pivotal moment in U.S.-China trade relations, which have been strained by tariffs and ongoing disputes. Agricultural exports and aircraft sales are critical sectors for American manufacturers, and increased Chinese purchases could provide a significant boost to both industries. Boeing and American farmers have been closely watching for signs of progress in trade negotiations.

The agreement comes after months of negotiations between the world's two largest economies. If China follows through on these commitments, American exporters could see substantial new demand for their products. Greer characterized China's actions as a positive step, though the details of specific purchase volumes remain unclear.
