Trump says China will buy ‘massive amounts’ of US farm products after putting trade war on hold

US President Donald Trump has said that China will buy “massive amounts” of American agricultural products as the two economic giants put an impending trade war “on hold”. "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!" Mr Trump tweeted Monday, with no additional explanation a day after Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said that trade tensions between the two had been temporarily eased. Mr Mnuchin has said to expect a 35 to 45 per cent increase in 2018 alone.
