China and DNC already spoke out against harming farmers.
If the USA used food as a strategic weapon and withheld rice alone (USA produces 5-7%) there would be a 2-3% shortfall for world markets.
Now, think wheat, beans, or corn and imagine the hunanitary outcry if the refused to send food based on strategic, or dictators, or idealogy... And the USA demanded free elections and democracy before we feed the world.
I did a proposal while at State and it was poorly received by HRC Team... But I was proud of the research and implications to make the world a better place by leveraging the UN.
