## Summary

US officials have urged China to carry out commitments under the Busan trade agreement, warning that continued progress depends on concrete results. The exchange highlights uncertainty over whether the two countries will follow through on measures intended to ease trade tensions.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. China says it is open to buying more US farm goods if both sides implement a reciprocal tariff-reduction arrangement worth $30bn each; earlier commitments included $17bn in annual US agricultural purchases from 2026 and purchases of soya beans.
