Called it...also, it's not a "deal", it's currently an agreement.
Trump Questions USMCA Renewal as Meat Sector Defends โGold Standardโ Deal https://t.co/v53K8jW0yb via @meatingplace
@_TheMizzouTiger They're not too tired yet. Even today, if you were to criticize the Trump administration as an employee of any ag business your career in ag would still be over.
USMCA is almost certainly gone if we take admin officials at their word.
Focus will be on bilateral, tariffed patchwork of deals rather than agreements.

@iamyourfarmer Socialism is when someone other than me gets a gov't benefit. When I get a gov't benefit, it's because I earned it through my genius and hard work. <sarcasm, folks>
Seriously, FWIW, more people would probably want "real socialism" if anyone knew what that actually was.
A pretty fun fact is that there is a difference between a trade "deal" and a trade "agreement". See if you can guess why the terms shouldn't be used interchangeably.
It'll certainly be interesting to see if the difference proves to be a stumbling block in the years ahead.
American farmers and ranchers are FINALLY making gains on the trade front.
In just one year, weโve enacted 18 new trade agreements. Reversing the unnecessary damage from the last administration.
What was an ag trade surplus when we left office in 2020 had turned into a forecasted $50 billion deficit under Biden.
We cut that deficit by 42% in a single year, and weโre on track to cut it even more this year.
Our producers are opening new markets:
โ Corn exports up 25%
โ Ethanol exports up 20%
โ Tree nut exports up 11%
โ Dairy exports up 17%
And weโre expanding domestic demand too with summer E15 and the largest Renewable Volume Obligations in American history.

@DaveDejmal I'm with you.
And for that matter, we can't all be direct to consumer and we can't all pick up a camera and social media all day. If we did, there'd be no value in either of those stupid things.
@sschevelle33@ottoscholl Yeah. All signs point to you being correct. Any (R) has no choice but to ride this train till the conclusion, if there is one. Step out and your career is over. And the endless death threats on top of that from the moral right.
@BEisenhart Virtually every single aspect of life is now dominated by what Teflon Don says. We wanted to be entertained.
I grew up loving politics. I was "Mr. President" in school. That said, I miss the days when I could go weeks without thinking of what the U.S. Pres. was doing.
