ロー・カンナ下院議員は、トランプ大統領に対し、現在行われている中国訪問において、大豆の購入再開や重要鉱物へのアクセス確保など、具体的な成果を得るよう強く求めた。
カリフォルニア州選出の民主党議員であり、米中戦略競争に関する特別委員会の筆頭委員でもある同氏は、NPRのインタビューで、習近平国家主席との協議に向けた複数の優先事項を挙げた。同氏は、トランプ大統領が中国に対し、米国産大豆の購入再開を強く求めるべきだと述べた。中国は現在、ブラジルやアルゼンチンからの供給を優先し、米国産大豆の購入を大幅に停止している。この措置は、貿易赤字の削減と、イラン情勢に関連した肥料価格の高騰に苦しむ米国の農家を支援するために不可欠であるとしている。
