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.
Farmers and ranchers are well aware Trump is to blame. They know who buys their products and why those customers are not buying now.
the farmers and ranchers that I know are absolutely not aware of anything that’s going on right now. if it’s good then Donald Trump is doing it and if it’s bad then China is doing it
Will they completely forget it the moment they get near a voting booth is the better question.
Yes!
