特朗普政府表态 敦促中国恢复进口美国大豆 承诺采购美国大豆

美国农业部副部长森斯基（Steve Censky）今天表示，美国与中国达成的任何贸易协定中，特朗普政府都将敦促中国做出恢复进口美国黄豆的承诺。 6park.com
据联合新闻网转述彭博社报道，中国7月向美国生产的黄豆课征25%报复性关稅，阻碍了贸易往来，并使美国农民争先恐后寻找储藏黄豆的空间，以待解决方案。中国则转向南美洲国家取代美国的黄豆供应。 6park.com
美国一直在推动农产品的销售增长，森斯基指出，任何贸易协定都会特別着重恢复黄豆销量，因为黄豆已成美中贸易战的锁定目标。 6park.com
森斯基在芝加哥受访说道：“我们希望确保贸易协定包括那些我们原本正常出口到中国，但受到他们报复措施影响的商品。” 6park.com
过去曾担任美国黄豆协会（American Soybean Association）主席的森斯基还说，特朗普将寻求“中国对于采购做出强而有力承诺，因为我们想确保恢复自身的销售量。” 6park.com
特朗普和中国国家主席习近平预计本月底在阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯的20国集团（G20）峰会共进晚餐。美国商务部长罗斯（Wilbur Ross）今天接受媒体专访表示，两位领导人将着重于“整体局势”。 6park.com
森斯基近日也在年度航道论坛（Annual Waterways Symposium）指出，中国对于特朗普的乡村地区政治基础造成“痛苦”是具有“战略性的”。 6park.com

Trump Administration Wants Soybeans Included in Any U.S.-China Trade Deal 6park.com

The Trump administration plans to push for a commitment from China to resume imports of U.S. soybeans in any trade accord reached between the world’s two largest economies, a top agricultural official said Thursday. 6park.com
China slapped a 25 percent retaliatory tariff on American-grown beans, which halted trade flow and left U.S. farmers scrambling to find storage in hopes of a resolution. The Asian nation has turned to South America to replace U.S. supply, sparking concern that the trade war may have lasting effects. 6park.com
While the U.S. has been pushing for higher sales of agricultural products generally, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Steve Censky said any trade pact would also address the resumption of soybean sales specifically, since that was targeted in the trade war. 6park.com
“We would want to make sure it includes the commodities that we normally have exported there that have been affected by their retaliation,” Censky said in an interview in Chicago. 6park.com
Censky, who previously headed the American Soybean Association, said President Donald Trump would be looking for a “robust level of commitments from China for purchases, because we want to make sure that we resume our sales.” 6park.com
Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet over dinner later this month at the Group of 20 summit in Buenos Aires. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in an interview Thursday that the two leaders will focus on the “big picture.” 6park.com
In earlier remarks to the Annual Waterways Symposium, Censky said China was “strategic” in inflicting “pain” on Trump’s rural political base. 6park.com
In July, the administration announced that it would deliver $12 billion in aid to farmers caught in the cross fire of escalating trade tensions. Last month, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said the administration has no plans to extend aid to farmers in 2019. 6park.com
Domestically, Censky said the administration has its work cut out to win over the new Congress on the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact. Democrats will now control the House, though Republicans maintain a majority in the Senate. 6park.com
“It is not going to be a slam dunk that Congress is going to approve that agreement,” he said. 6park.com
