The U.S. was exporting more than 30 million metric tons of soy and soybeans to China before the trade war.
U.S. farmers, who voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, are starting to show signs of frustration that his trade fight with China is hurting their business.
Until the trade war broke out, the U.S. had been exporting more than 30 million metric tons of soy and soybeans to China each year, according to the Agriculture Department. To put that in context: It works out to about 220 pounds of soybeans for every American man, woman and child.The good news: Although soybeans sometimes get a bad rap with U.S. consumers, they’re probably better for us than their critics claim, say medical researchers.
Sun says that soy has a “bad reputation” in the U.S. but that many of the negative claims are based on studies of the effects on animals, not humans.
