President Trump had originally said he wanted the war over the Straits re-opened before they had the US/Chinese trade summit, but he decided to go through with the meeting despite ongoing negotiations with Iran.

Beans sharp old and new crop rally pushed both to new 8-week highs on expectations that China will follow through on buying 400-500 MBU of beans as a show of good faith going into the meeting.
