Beijing also hasn't confirmed it would buy farm goods at the $40 billion to $50 billion level that the White House touted.
This can be seen in the chart below, which features data from the US Department of Agriculture. It shows that, over the last decade, sales of farm goods to China peaked in 2012 at $25.9 billion. That marked a record high, with over half of it coming from soybeans.Further, the sale total of exports regularly topped $20 billion before plummeting in 2018 as a result of the trade war. Analysts have forecasted another slump this year to $8 billion.

It was 500 billion,, but Russia stepped in and I guess got the new deal... but hey 50 billion is alot better than no billion...
