We are an unreliable supplier to them because 1 person that leads our government can impose tariffs on any of their goods at anytime forcing them to retaliate. That means they are forced to act by imposing tariffs on something that will cause the enemy (U.S.) the most pain. Soybeans and the ag economy is the best choice because it effects the most voters. Voters that have the power to elect a new leader of our government.

My bet is if all the soybeans in the U.S. were owned by 1 or 2 companies they wouldnt have been targeted or if the president was elected for life. Like you said, it is a tariff enacted by them and yes it cost them 25 percent. That is the the price they are willing to pay to cause pain to the most amount of voters they can influence in our country.

So from a supply and logistics point, we are the most reliable source for soybeans in the world. However, at this point we are not the most reliable trading partner in their mind and because of that they are willing to pay more for Brazil and Argentina soybeans to prove that point.


Nobody forced them to do anything. They chose to put a tarrif on our good supply. Trump asked them to buy more to offset the trade imbalance and they picked the attitude and tarrif instead. If they don't want to buy from us then we need to quit buying their crap as well. This swings both ways.
