Date: 2025-03-03

Convicted felon and President of the United States Donald Trump told US farmers to suck it up, he's starting a trade war.

China is reportedly considering targeting agriculture to reciprocate for Trump's anticipated "new" tariffs. Mexico, who knows? Trump is violating a trade agreement he bragged about a few years ago.
