Young: farmers want trade, not aid

That criticism continued on Thursday from an Iowa congressman, and USA farm groups announced a multimillion-dollar campaign against tariffs.

While China is the one imposing tariffs on US soybean imports in retaliation for USA tariffs on Chinese goods, the bottom line is that the world’s largest buyer of the crucial oilseed is providing an opportunity for Brazil to make further inroads into global markets.

A more conciliatory tone emerged from Mnuchin, who told CNBC the United States was willing to reopen trade talks with China if Beijing was willing to make “serious changes”, as he said the European Union had indicated it was willing to do.

The latest US-EU trade statement sends another message to Beijing – that Washington and Brussels will “work closely together with like-minded partners” to address a long list of issues such as “intellectual property theft, forced technology transfers, industrial subsidies, distortions created by state-owned enterprises, and overcapacity”.

Trump and advisers said he and the farmers want the same thing: A fair trading system.

“We do want trade and not aid, and whether it’s soybean farmers, or dairy, or ginseng or cranberries”.

Trump knows that most of our trading partners don’t really want free trade; they want managed trade, where they can get access to US markets while protecting certain industries from USA competition. China is the No. 1 soybean buyer and has been avoiding the purchase of US beans in recent months.

Second, the idea of eliminating tariffs in cross-Atlantic trade is not new.

U.S. President and European Commission President will meet next week to discuss a possible reduction of auto tariffs for several key trade partners, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday.

Tariffs “act as a tax on American consumers, raise costs for our manufacturers and drive our jobs to other countries”, these groups wrote in an op-ed for USA TODAY.

For one, this program can not create additional foreign demand that does not exist.

Ambassador Shea left no stone unturned by suggesting on 26 July that China’s Communist party runs, directs, and dictates its mercantile trade policy in violation of Beijing’s multilateral trade commitments.

Most in the market had already penciled in heavy EU buying of USA soybeans on protein production setbacks across the European Union.

The U.S. “heavily insisted to insert the whole field of agricultural products” in the negotiations, Juncker later told reporters, according to the Journal.

President Richard Nixon is often blamed for jump-starting competition from Brazil when he imposed an embargo on soybean exports in 1973 in response to dwindling US supplies and domestic inflation pressures. Whirlpool shares closed 3.7 percent lower. Lawmakers in Washington on Thursday passed legislation to slow Chinese investment in US companies.

It is clear that USDA’s efforts are not going to establish a comparable trade relationship anytime soon.

This program may not directly influence grains and oilseeds, though, as the commodities the agency listed were fruits, nuts, rice, legumes, beef, pork, and milk.

Yao’s factory has been making Donald Trump banners since his tag line was “Make America Great Again” and she says business has been “great” since 2015. With only four months to go until the USA mid-term elections, how likely is it that the Trump administration has the time and patience to realize this ambitious goal?

Representative David Young, a Republican member of the House Agriculture Subcommittee, criticized the tariffs and the aid to farmers.
