China Agrees To Purchase 11 U.S. Soybeans

SEOUL-In a historic trade agreement that President Donald Trump touted as a major win for an American farmer, China reportedly agreed Thursday to purchase 11 U.S. soybeans. I am extremely honored that President Xi has authorized China to begin the purchase of this unprecedented amount of American-grown soybeans-not merely nine or 10 beans, but 11 whole, intact beans," Trump said at a highly anticipated summit in South Korea with his Chinese counterpart, moments after handing President Xi Jinping a small handful of dry soybeans from his pants pocket in exchange for 2 cents worth of aluminum. I counted these beans myself, and frankly, it's a massive quantity. President Xi is a great friend of mine, and even he has to admit that, together, we have finally delivered a fantastic deal for the American people. Wait, hold on, I think I handed you 12 beans there, Xi. Can you give me one back?" At press time, Trump confirmed he had started negotiations for a Chinese trade deal involving an entire corncob.
