    In just a few weeks, U.S. farmers will begin harvesting tens of millions of tons of soybeans. But they have a big problem on their hands: The world’s biggest buyer doesn’t want any.

    Over the years, China had become one of the biggest buyers of American agricultural products, as the country’s growing middle class developed a taste for pork and poultry that are fattened, in part, on soybean meal. U.S. farmers in turn rushed to cash in on China’s ravenous demand.

    But now, soy has emerged as a potent weapon that Beijing is wielding in its trade fight with Washington. Chinese buyers haven’t booked any U.S. soybean purchases, turning instead to Brazilian suppliers. 

    “We have a large number of farmers that won’t survive this,” said Caleb Ragland, a Kentucky soybean farmer and president of the American Soybean Association.

    imagine the biggest military in the world being forced to blow up small boats like that. should have waited until they got in our waters and had the coast guard apprehend them. trump likes it when things go boom though.

    kinda seems bad that the president is treating the military like a personal strike force. Really bad precedent and I’m worried for what more he will do with it.

    he is already trying to move national guard into blue states. so it can't get scarier than that, domestically at least.
