China's soybean orders are completely cleared against the United States, why are Republican lawmakers calling for urgent rescue for farmers?

From the harvest season in September to the pre-sales in October, China did not go down.Looking at a bunch of soybeans in the warehouse was nowhere, the price dropped day by day, and China still did not buy.Many farmers will not even buy seed loans next year, calling to the parliamentary office, squeeze to the city hall to mourn.

And Republican lawmakers can't sit still. While following Trump's policies, they can't ignore the life and death of voters. They can only rush to put pressure on the government, shouting "save farmers", and they have to urge to finalize the aid plan as soon as possible.

According to statistics, U.S. bean farmers expect to lose $100 per acre this year, and the Trump administration has to provide more than $40 billion in subsidies, but even if this money is spent, can the problems of U.S. agriculture really be solved?

2023-2024 market year, China has also bought 25 million tons of soybeans in the United States, several times more than the European Union, but this year, China's orders are directly cleared.This is for the American soybeans, simply "the sky has collapsed", after all, American soybeans generally depend on exports, before China bought soybeans are all other countries combined more, but now China has not bought, American soybeans are directly over-demanded, a bunch of soybeans are not everywhere, the price is down and down.

The U.S. Institute calculated the penny account, and so on, by 2026, the net income of U.S. agriculture may be less than $30 billion. earning less money, the days of American farmers are naturally bad, even many soy farmers now even buy seeds, spend loans are not enough, in this case, farmers feelings are naturally dissatisfied.

Republican congressmen worry that if it drags on any longer, "rural America will face a large-scale financial disaster."

After Trump took office, he wanted to put pressure on China, Napoleon's issue as an excuse, first imposed a 20% tariff on China, and later added additional tariffs on some products to 145%, trying to force China to make concessions through this tough method.

What he didn't expect was that China didn't give in at all, but directly countered it and imposed tariffs on American soybeans and other agricultural products. As a result, the price advantage of American soybeans was directly gone, and Chinese companies simply stopped buying them and went directly to South American suppliers. Brazilian soybeans suddenly accounted for 71% of China's imports.

In fact, not only soybeans, but also U.S. soybeans, beef, pork, almonds, dairy products, cotton, cotton and other agricultural products, exports are also affected - other countries are also afraid of tariff policy instability, so do not dare to buy American things easily, and the U.S. agricultural export market will be much smaller.

The Trump administration is under great pressure, and now it is urgently discussing it, and it may adopt the method of subsidies. According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it is expected that more than $40 billion in subsidies will be distributed to farmers in 2025, the second highest figure since 1933. The money mainly comes from the temporary disaster relief and economic assistance program passed by Congress last December.

But can subsidies really end the problem? subsidies can only solve the urgency, can not fundamentally solve the problem, if Trump does not adjust the tariff policy, China has not bought U.S. soybeans, the problem will still exist, can the Trump administration always get so much money? or a problem, so say this is not a fundamental solution to the problem.

Sino-US economic and trade negotiations are still going on, and the US Treasury Secretary has also talked with China for several rounds. No one can say what will happen next. But what is certain is that if Trump continues to be hard, the Sino-US trade dispute may become more intense, and the troubles of American agriculture will be greater. If the United States can change its attitude and be willing to talk on an equal footing, there may still be a chance to ease tensions.
