U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said China had pledged to buy "massive amounts" of American agricultural products but gave no other details about planned commitments from Beijing following U.S.-China trade talks last week.

"Fair Trade, plus, with China will happen!" Trump wrote in a series of posts on Twitter that came a day after U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a trade war between the world's largest economies was "on hold."
