Brazil and Argentina will pick up the slack.
Honestly, China already has no reason to continue doing business with the US. The farmers are rightfully fucked. Turns out it’s not “woke” that makes you go broke.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get the average person to lean into soy?
In fact, the alt-right have been using it as an insult since 2012 exactly because of its public image

You have to call it edamame just to get people to eat it!

Checks notes I am afraid that was cut as well when DOGE hacked through USAID.
The best we can offer the US farmers is thoughts and prayers with a side of leopard eating their faces.

And do what with it? There is a reason why it's huge in china and Asia, it's a staple. Most people don't like soybeans because it's not eco friendly crop. Also soybean isn't consumed by the majority of people, there better foods out there

There won't be more tariffs, it'll be an additional permanent loss of the Chinese market.
Farmers are permanently fucking themselves over.

Let's just look at some facts about beans.
Soybeans is the largest export from USA to China. USA is China's second largest source of soybean imports. China has officially decided to put fingers in both ears in regards to Trump's flip flopping on tariffs. Trump has no power over China's domestic tariffs
Well. I don't know what soybean farmers want from Trump, because there's nothing he can do to fix the thing he broke.

According to this: https://www.globaltimes.cn/...
In the first five months of 2024, Brazil, the US, Canada, Russia and Argentina remained China's top five soybean importers in terms of value. China imported $12.56 billion of soybeans from Brazil, followed by the US with $6.25 billion and Canada with $531 million, according to data from the General Administration of Customs (GAC).
Brazil and Russia (and China, of course) are part of BRICS and will be delighted to strengthen trade links. I hear that Canada have a neighbour who have become a trade liability recently and would be delighted to increase trade with other countries, too?
