Iowa (RI) — Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson says the Trump Administration is making progress in trade talks with China. President Trump is flying back from China on Friday after his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
US officials announced Friday morning that they expect China to buy billions of dollars’ worth of US agricultural commodities over the next three years. China stopped buying U.S. soybeans last spring after Trump announced new tariffs, then last October made less than half of the soybean purchases it had promised to make. Hinson welcomes Trump’s hardline approach to China.
Hinson was born in 1983, during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Hinson is a member of the U.S. House Select Committee on China.
A report cited by the House Select Committee on China this year indicates about 40 percent of the raw materials used to make medications prescribed in the U.S. come from China.
