You started the trade war. Now you're surprised that there are no buyers. 🤐
1. Blame China for starting the fire: Trump accuses China of "economic hostility" for not buying U.S. soybeans. But China's recent change began only after Trump's tariff war: the United States imposed tariffs first and China bought products elsewhere. That is not hostility, it is supply chain survival. No one makes a deal that causes them losses and disrespects them.
2. American products are simply MORE EXPENSIVE right now. - The average price of American soybeans is $520 per ton, while Brazil and Argentina sell the same amount for around $430, a clear difference of $90. Likewise, American cooking oil costs between $1.45 and $1.60 per liter, compared to $0.90 and $1.10 from Asian suppliers.
👉 When a high price is set in the supply chain and business partners are threatened, no one owes loyalty. The world buys what is cheaper and stable.
3. Threats do not make trade agreements: Trump's claim that "we can easily produce our own" overlooks the global economy: trade is not about self-praise, but about efficiency and profitability.
👉 When tariffs are used as a weapon, countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Indonesia intervene discreetly.
4. Collateral damage for farmers: The loss of China, which previously bought more than 60% of U.S. soybean exports, means more grain unsold and lower agricultural incomes. Farmers receive subsidies, while ordinary taxpayers foot the bill. That is not winning, it is recycling losses.
5. The calm of cryptocurrencies amid trade chaos: every tariff impact, soybean ban, or oil dispute drives investors toward borderless markets: Bitcoin, ETH, stablecoins, tokenized commodities. When politics shakes trade, cryptocurrencies remain neutral. The market will eventually stop responding to Trump; each escalation usually ends in a classic U-turn.
6. Trade is not friendship, loyalty, or brotherhood; it is simple economy, arithmetic. And when your products cost $90 more per ton, the market doesn't become hostile... it simply turns the page and the script.
