What specific agricultural purchase commitment does US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer expect China to make following the Trump–Xi summit in Beijing?

Greer stated that the U.S. expects China to commit to 'double-digit billion purchases of ags over the next three years, per year'—an aggregate figure covering all agricultural products, not just soybeans.

What is the proposed 'Board of Trade', and what is its intended scope according to U.S. officials?

U.S. officials floated the creation of a 'Board of Trade' as a mechanism to manage commercial ties by reducing tariffs and trade barriers on 'non-critical goods that do not implicate national security concerns'; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent specified one idea was for each country to cut tariffs on about $30 billion worth of trade in 'non-critical areas and areas that we’re not trying to reshore.'
