Trump announced China would buy 12 million tons of American soybeans by January. But China has only purchased 10% of that.
American farmers are losing billions of dollars while Republicans refuse to challenge the trade policies destroying farm country.

Here's what's happening while Trump's soybean deal with China deal: Brazil is becoming China's permanent supplier, American farmers are losing money and Republicans won't let Congress vote on ending the trade war. Our farmers deserve better.

I am astounded by Secretary Rollins' careless disregard for hungry Americans who rely on SNAP for a little help. Her words have consequences. She is creating unnecessary confusion for millions already struggling to afford their lives because of this administration.

China has bought less than 10% of the soybeans Trump promised farmers. The administration has a long way to go to deliver on its word.

Trump promised farmers 12 million tons of soybean sales to China by January, but only 10% of their commitment has been purchased.
