On the heels of U.S. President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo that China has agreed to purchase millions of metric tons of U.S. soybeans in the coming years.
During an appearance on “Mornings with Maria,” Bessent said China agreed to purchase 12 million metric tons of the crop “during this season,” which he indicated is “between now and … should be January.”

Bessent said that he thinks Trump’s trip to Asia may ultimately yield $2 trillion worth of investments into the U.S.
