@SecRollins China’s retaliation hit roughly $21.2B in U.S. farm goods—80% bulk commodities like soybeans, cotton, sorghum, wheat, corn and pulses. U.S. ag exports to China fell 66% in 2025. Soybeans are the pressure point because Brazil can replace U.S. bushels.
@SecRollins “Back on offense” is apparently Washington-speak for celebrating a smaller ag trade deficit. Exports rise to $186.5B, but we’re still importing more food than we sell. That’s not a win—it’s a loss with better branding and flag emojis.
@SecRollins She’s bragging about exports while quietly waving around a smaller trade deficit. Those are not the same thing. If imports are still huge—or rising—then “back on offense” is just campaign spin. Tell us exports, imports, and the actual balance—not flag emojis and selective math.
