Agriculture isn’t nearing trade war tariffs crisis, ‘it is full blown crisis already’ farmers say

China has an insatiable appetite for pork. They'll come around.

That said, isn't feeding the enemy an act of treason?

Did China buy any American pork? Or did China use farms they bought in the United States to grow pork in the United States and ship it to China. Chinese company. Chinese farm. Chinese shipping. They aren't buying it from American farmers.

Although tariffs will cut into pork exports to China, we still sell them lots of pork.

Now that China has reduced their tariff on American products to 10% we can send them plenty of pork.

The clock is ticking on trade deals that the U.S. will need to strike with many nations, most notably China, to avoid what Trump’s Treasury Secretary has described as an “unsustainable” tariffs war. But in the U.S. farming sector, the damage has already been done and the economic crisis already begun.

U.S. agriculture exporters say the global backlash to President Trump’s tariffs is punishing them, especially a decline in Chinese buying of U.S. farm products, leading to cancelled export orders and layoffs. Peter Friedmann, executive director of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition, a leading export trade group for farmers, tells CNBC the number of canceled purchases of U.S. agriculture should not be described as approaching a crisis. “It is a full-blown crisis already,” he said.

Data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday revealed China made its biggest cancellation of pork orders since 2020, halting a shipment of 12,000 tons of pork.

If you think world leaders aren't paying attention to the damage Dotard is doing to the US economy........think again.

I won't try agriculture just because of all those sharp needles and pins.
