Comments by China's commerce ministry

  • Says that importers of US sorghum must make deposit of 178.6% effective 18 April
  • To continue investigation and make final ruling later
  • Says that the anti-dumping investigation on US sorghum is in line with WTO rules
  • This is aimed to correct unfair trade practises
  • China is willing to expand cooperation with US on trade disputes

The hit here is mainly affecting Trump states as the top producers of sorghum in the US are Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, and Nebraska.
