U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the administration expects to finalize deals on farmer aid and Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans within the next one to two weeks. She indicated China may sign a soybean purchase agreement "this week or next week," but provided no details on quantities, prices, or aid terms. The comments signal likely near-term action to support U.S. farmers amid trade tensions.
