The U.S. is getting nervous! Trump has made a strong statement to us. On October 2, according to AFP, Trump said that he is prepared to hold talks with China and urged China to purchase American soybeans. American soybean farmers are suffering losses because China has not purchased American soybeans just for the reason of "negotiations." Obviously, Trump is once again pressuring us to purchase American soybeans, which indicates that the U.S. is clearly in a rush.
In fact, just before Trump exerted pressure, U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin warned Argentina by name, saying that the U.S. provided Argentina with a $20 billion rescue. However, in return, Argentina canceled its grain export tariffs and sold a large amount of soybeans to China. But Trump pressured us, saying that China has not purchased American soybeans just for the reason of "negotiations." Then we want to ask, why does the U.S. suspend the export of aircraft engines and other equipment just because of tariff negotiations?
Why does the U.S. still not export high-end chips to us just because of tariff negotiations? Why does the U.S. continue to intensify sanctions against our companies just because of tariff negotiations? The so-called "do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire" - the U.S. obviously has no empathy at all. In fact, recently, U.S. Trade Representative Griles also claimed that the U.S. imposing a 55% tariff on imported Chinese products is a "good status quo," and stated that if you ask the president, the president would say, "this is the agreement."
If we follow the U.S. representative's argument, then for our not purchasing American agricultural products, the U.S. should have no complaints at all. Obviously, we will not even pay attention to the U.S. pressure. As the saying goes, "the person who tied the knot must untie it." We will only consider importing American agricultural products if the U.S. itself makes concessions first. Moreover, in terms of the global market, there are not only Argentina but many other countries wanting to seize the Chinese market and fill the gap left by the U.S.
