  "summary": "US soybean farmers have expressed disappointment over the exclusion of US soybeans from China’s list of agricultural products receiving tariff cuts, despite China's increased purchases of the crop ahead of recent high-level talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump. The announcement of the non-sensitive goods covered by tariff reductions, which includes other US agricultural products such as meat, dairy, corn, wheat, sorghum, and vegetable oils, did not include soybeans, which currently face a 10 percent tariff in China. The American Soybean Association, representing over 500,000 growers, stated that this exclusion was a missed opportunity for American farmers, as China's remaining 10 percent retaliatory duty limits access for private Chinese importers.",
