To be fair, killing farming in the USA wasn't a difficult task. Most countries importing any American food products have had major restrictions on them for years due to safety and hygiene concerns. The EU, for instance, pretty much only imported some soy and grain, because anything else doesn't meet our quality standards. There only had to be a single minor inconvenience here to end the imports from the USA.

And in all honesty - wonderful news for Europeans. I don't think any of us will miss American products. Personally I'll happily pay a tiny bit more for soy from Brazil or China.

What a bunch of welfare queens. They should have planted crops people want to buy.

The European colonial empires fell sixty years ago, and it wasn't even out of sheer stupidity that America is doing right now. China is laughing out of sheer happiness that they are filling the vacuum that US is leving due to plain stupidity.

"Temporary" my ass. They are going to beg for those evil socialistic handouts for the coming years. Simply because it is unlikely to get better.

Well yeah, farm subsidies aren’t new.

I'm hoping this means low soy-food prices. And other beans. Beans are the best.

Aren't farmers who are among the most conservative voters worldwide?

All bailout money is earmarked for the corporations. We need to save the banks and the auto industry! Again!! /s

Americans are learning the hard way that elections have consequences, and I’m loving it. Sadly, most still won’t learn. I said it before and I’ll continue to say it that Trump, Elon and their lackies are anarchists. They are destroying the government because they hate government (because it gets in their way) and they’re not going to put any of it back. He’ll be gone and we’ll have some broken, ghetto, incompetent government that can’t put the pieces back together and it’s what we’ll be stuck with for generations to come while other countries progress.

And now JD Vance’s Acretrader can come buy up all the land for cheap and sell it to foreign interests!

And this on X? Man people ARE waking up… a handful of years or two too late but still.

I wonder what their pitch to the "soy boys" will be.
