    The situation echoes the 2018-2020 trade war, during which U.S. agriculture lost $26 billion, with nearly $20 billion in soybean losses alone. Soybeans accounted for 71% of agricultural losses experienced by American farmers during that earlier conflict.

    China’s smart to redirect purchases to Brazil so aggressively. If they want to create political pressure, it’s effective… But I think they underestimate political loyalty to whatever Trump’s doing these days.
