Correct, I didn't mean to cut them off completely but having options could be a very good bargaining chip.If we found new trading partners and locked in new deals, what would we have to offer China if they came back to the table? Do you folks think beyond the moment? Agriculture products are fairly static and based on growing seasons. You can't just make more on demand.
Pulling out of trans-pacific partnership was stupid.
China wasn't even involved, when Trump canceled it, China moved in and took a leading role in it, instead of the US.
