WASHINGTON -- U.S. exports to China decreased 11.3% on the month in August, as soybean shipments plummeted amid the escalating trade tensions between the world's two largest economies.
Total American exports to China amounted to $9.77 billion, the Department of Commerce said Friday, widening the monthly decline from 8.2% in July. U.S. imports from China slid 2.1% in August as the tariff war took a toll.
