Dec. 6 (UPI) -- The Chinese government said Friday it will exempt U.S.-made soybeans and pork from a list of punitive tariffs, a sign of potential progress in a trade conflict that's lasted now for more than a year.
Beijing's Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council said the exemptions are a result of "applications submitted by related enterprises." China said it would make the exemptions based on "domestic needs."
