Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 29, 2025

Australian beef has replaced U.S. supply in China since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, funnelling hundreds of millions of dollars that have in previous years gone to the U.S. cattle industry into Australian pockets. U.S. shipments to China, worth around $120 million a month, collapsed after Beijing in March allowed permits to expire at hundreds of American meat facilities and as Trump unleashed a tit-for-tat tariff war. Other U.S. farm exports to China, the world's biggest food importer, have also suffered since Trump retook power. On soybeans alone, U.S. farmers have lost out on shipments worth billions of dollars during the current harvest season.

#1: And Australia was already doing superbly with beef exports. What a bonanza for them; the Australians are laughing their way to the bank, thanks to Dummkopf Trumpf. I hope Red State American cattle ranchers that voted for Dotard Trumpf don't read drudge.com: www.farmersjournal.ie

Dummkopf Trumpf ordered 500 tons of undelivered food be burned after he had Empty Suit Marco Rubio dismantle USAID, a JFK-created agency that could have bought this "big harvest" to feed starving people in the Third World: foodtank.com

I've driven through a couple thousand miles of farm country the past month or so.

There were countless fields of soybeans near harvest time alongside corn.

Prices for soybeans have fallen dramatically already into loss territory.

They'll fall even further as a vast oversupply leads to even lower prices and bigger losses for farmers.

All thanks to Trump's tariffs.

We'll see. Typically, oversupply leads to lower prices. Like corn and wheat.

But meat processing plants may not be able to process an oversupply of beef thanks to ICE raids.
