"The Chinese side confirmed their commitment to increase purchases of United States agricultural exports," the White House said in a statement, offering hope to an American industry badly battered in the two countries' trade war.

The talks were "constructive" and a new round of negotiations is set to be held in Washington in early September, the statement said.
