Don’t worry too much. I am getting old and I can tell ya, when you get a string of bad leaders in the USA, you then get another “Reagan”. Just watch, at some point Americans will get sick and tired of losing every war, every trade deal, watching all the tax money just go “poof” into slush funds, looking like laughing stocks, and will elect a Fiscal Conservative to fix it all. Its will happen because it HAS TO HAPPEN.
Gee, Russia and China know how to impose sanctions that actually work! Who knew?
The USA can no longer use its food exports to blackmail the rest of the world.
I’ll be apparently the first to admit I don’t know how to generalize Chinese-US wheat order cancellations into some larger theory. Maybe they’re just canceling wheat. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Maybe order cancellations mean their economy is weak and they’re teetering on the edge of a recession that they would never admit.
Or maybe order cancellations mean they’re getting cheaper grains elsewhere and US grain can’t compete.
Or maybe it means ties with Russia have improved. Or maybe it means ties with Ukraine have improved. Or maybe tariffs are hurting either China or Russia or somewhere else.
I just have no idea what I’m supposed to get from this factoid. The orders existed, but then got cancelled, why does ordering and then canceling matter?
Can’t we all just get along?
My theory is that the west’s future food security is being attacked and dismantle on multiple sides. Russia taking 1/5th of Ukraine agricultural land.
China role in United Nations positioning it as a leader in food justice and Israel genocide which is with holding food.
Plus, both Russia and China have been acquiring a lot of agricultural land.
So – the question is the above move weakening wheat production in USA?
