In Tariff Standoff With Trump, China Boycotts American Soybeans
U.S. farmers need to sell their incoming crop, and China needs to buy it in case its main alternative, Brazil, has a flood or drought. But their trade war prevents a deal.www.nytimes.com
China has been boycotting purchases of U.S. soybeans since late May to show displeasure with President Trump’s imposition of tariffs on imports from China. The pain is being felt in Midwest states, especially Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Indiana. For the first time in many years, American farmers are preparing to harvest their crop this fall with no purchase orders from China.
“The further into the autumn we get without reaching an agreement with China on soybeans, the worse the impacts will be on U.S. soybean farmers,” the American Soybean Association warned in a letter to Mr. Trump on Aug. 19.
“Hundreds of people including South Korean workers were arrested in an immigration raid at a Hyundai Motorbattery plant under construction in Georgia, weeks after the carmaker pledged $26 billion in U.S. investments.

A curious case of ICE policy and trade policy not syncing up at all.
Unless the tariffs are refunded. In which case he'll just divert FEMA funds, which IIRC is what he did in '18. But that assumes he still gives a fuck about farmers.I presume some of the illegal tariff funds will be given to farmers as in 2018/
Trump has gotten US in a vulnerable position when he got into a full trade war with China without being ready for it on rarea earth metals. China played that card completely for the first time and US really has no back-up plam on several rare eartjs critical for US auto. semi and defense indistries.
Had a Dem Prez done anything this strategically stupid and dangrous to US nat; security, Rs would already have drawn up Articles of Impeachment.
