China's Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council will add agricultural products such as soybeans and pork to its list of tariff exemptions of U.S. goods, according to a report from Xinhua, China’s state-run news agency.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. is “not going to do business with Huawei” despite Commerce officials telling U.S. companies in July the agency was planning to be more lenient on Huawei-related export license applications. “We’re not going to do business with Huawei.
