China recently canceled their orders for 12,000 metric tons of pork
Trump will have caused the price of domestic pork to drop
Genus at work !
American farmers' soybean crops will be rotting in the fields, as China continues to re-source this need from Brazil,
an effort they've been implementing since January, btw.
Soon, we'll Be Great Again, just you wait
