Not tired of "winning" yet!

In a sane world Venezuela would jump on this.
Talk about an opportunity...
I hope Trump raises the tariff on soybeans again.
America wins yet again. Yet again Trump played it smart. Yet again his critics were wrong. When this is done we’ll actually have something close to free trade for a while.
A very stable genius at that!
The article is about Venezuela and oil. Not soybeans.
Like I told you. They need US, more than we need THEM.
Starving, unemployed, Chinese workers start Revolutions.
Don’t sell to them until they meet our trade demands.
They can have all they want for 100 bucks a bushel. That should shutup the whining farm community.
There is no replacing the United States and Brazil when it comes to soy beans..
Brazil: US$25.7 billion (44.2% of exported soya beans)
United States: $21.7 billion (37.2%)
Argentina: $2.7 billion (4.7%)
Paraguay: $2.1 billion (3.7%)
Canada: $1.9 billion (3.3%)
Uruguay: $1.2 billion (2%)
Ukraine: $1.1 billion (1.8%)
Netherlands: $431 million (0.7%)
Russia: $168.6 million (0.3%)
India: $121.7 million (0.2%)
Romania: $117.2 million (0.2%)
Croatia: $100.5 million (0.2%)
China: $91.2 million (0.2%)
Belgium: $80.2 million (0.1%)
Germany: $55.5 million (0.1%)
The listed 15 countries shipped 99% of global soya beans exports in 2017 by value.
I sincerely hope that either the US government, or some companies acting on behalf of the government, are buying up South American soybeans to drive the price that China will ultimately pay through the roof. It is not a free market response, of course, but it is way past time for us to engage in the same kind of mercantilist strategies and actions that China has pulled on us. Payback SHOULD be a real bitch here.
