[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4292072, member: 24302"] I'm well aware of tofu, but the Chinese have culled 250 million pigs due to African Swine Fever, not swine flu, and that has put a big dent in their importing soybeans. And Brazil and Argentina combined grow more soybeans than the U.S. now, and quite a bit of corn. If you followed commodities you'd see the weekly reports on what countries are exporting, and what countries are importing. The U.S. farmers are efficient? The USDA is flat out lying about the size and quality of the corn and soybean crops to keep prices low for end users. If you want to criticize Trump then go after his administration for that. And you do realize the U.S. makes more than just cars? We're the top country for medical equipment, computer chips, and a myriad other things. We send car parts to Mexico for our factories there. I doubt we'd ever get on par with China with what we export to them vs what they export to us but Trump is trying to get us a better deal, including buying a set amount of our ag products. It's only right because they are coming out way ahead on everything else. [/QUOTE]
