More than a dozen agricultural producers from US breadbasket regions will display their wares at a special pavilion at the high-profile trade show, and several of the country’s multinationals are expected to set up booths at the expo venue in Shanghai, with some returning after multi-year absences. Officials from certain American states will also attend, the Post has learned.
Observers said many participants are hoping for more orders at this year’s expo, which begins Wednesday and runs for six days, as they seek to capitalise on the renewed rapport between the two countries.
That positive outlook was buoyed by last week’s summit between Trump and Xi – the leaders’ first in-person encounter in six years – that extended a tariff truce and de-escalated tensions on other fronts.
Many attending the fair expect the trade stabilisation to last beyond this year, industry insiders said.
