But U.S. soybean exporters sold several cargoes of soybeans to Chinese state-owned buyers, people familiar with the matter said, meaning some of the trade continues.

In Beijing, the foreign ministry was asked how it would respond to the report on the suspension of us agricultural products. He said he was not aware of what the reporter said, adding that China's position on china-us economic and trade issues was consistent and clear.

The chairman of the us senate finance committee is also unconvinced that China will not honour the first phase of the trade agreement between the two countries. The agreement has temporarily eased tensions.

Russia is an old hand at pushing back against President trump's proposal to expand the size of the group of seven (g7) summit and try to draw Russia in to contain China.
