Under Trump, US cedes its share of China's beef market to Australia

Australian beef has replaced U.S. supply in China since Donald Trump returned to the White House, funnelling hundreds of millions of dollars that have in previous years gone to the U.S. cattle industry into Australian pockets.
U.S. shipments to China, worth around $120 million a month, collapsed after Beijing in March allowed permits to expire at hundreds of American meat facilities and as Trump unleashed a tit-for-tat tariff war.
Other U.S. farm exports to China, the world's biggest food importer, have also suffered since Trump retook power. On soybeans alone, U.S. farmers have lost out on shipments worth billions of dollars during the current harvest season.

Wait until this sinks in to the farmer's heads. Next year farmers will fully experience the rotten fruits of the current administration.
They'll blame Democrats
"Democrats did this"
they blame China
Thanks to Republican education cuts and propaganda, they're dumb as shit and won't put two and two together
i've never known a farmer to stay in the business long if they were dumb as shit. politically naive? sure. growing crops isn't as simple as scattering seeds and waiting.
the only thing farmers know is the price that the 5 giant beef companies are paying them for their cows
Trump is already promising to bail out the farmers with the money from tariffs next year.
Yeah, It's what he did the last time he destroyed soybean exports.
Ah, so it's a Ponzi scheme then on top of everything else?
That's socialism, LOL.
They won't care. Trump will tell them it was Obama (because he will forget to say Biden).
And ALL that farmland will be gathered up by “Govt approved corporations”. Then they’ll produce the food after paying shit to the former workers, as well as shit prices for the land.
Like gathering up butterflies…
How’s your Trump now, bitches?
That, and making heavy use of the 13th amendment to work the farm.
Most of them won't have enough critical thinking skills to realise what happened. They'll just blame whoever Fox or Tiktok tells them to blame.
Suicide rates are climbing with US farmers. Some of them get it at the end of the day.
Not all US farmers are Republicans and voted for Trump, though.
