BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Want to know how bad Donald Trump is losing his trade war with China?
Last month, he said China will buy 12 million tons of US soybeans by January. China hasn’t even bought 1/10th of that amount yet.
Trump is getting played by China while American farmers pay the price.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.
