9. Welfare but really a small drop in the bucket.

Thu Oct 2, 2025, 08:23 PM

Oct 2025

Soybean exports to China were $13 billion per year just prior to the regime. All US ag exports to just China were $41 billion in 2022 alone. So it's a small drop in the bucket of what they've lost. And is he going to do the same thing every single year from here on out? If farmers have any sense at all, they'll see it as an insult. And many will STILL go bankrupt. China doesn't need Amurkin farmers. Plenty of ag products to found elsewhere. Brazil produces more soybeans than we do.
