Perhaps and if so, they are subsidized, no? If they are subsidized, then that might well be grounds to tariff their crops.

So the tariffs add insult to injury and instead of making some profit, they go in the hole.Coincidence is not causation. Chinese (not Trump) tariffs on soybeans just took effect Friday. But according to your own source, prices have been trending down since 2012:
The more likely explanation is soybean production has been on the rise for some time:
The glut in supply has reduced demand, thereby lowering prices...for some time now.
Do the math.

Yeah and Asian Markets going down. Back to currency manipulation while losing Foreign Money savings.
China just blinked issuing a safety warning for Travel to the US.
Trump should come back with another 100 billion on China. Tell them match that.

What are they going to do if Bernie Sanders is the nominee in 2020? Go back to arguing that free trade is bad?

Of course. Being hypocrites doesn't seem to bother them in the least.

Yes, I realize that. The biggest market for soybeans is Asia. If the price is uncompetitive, they don't sell in that market. Do try to remember that high demand means higher prices, lower demand lower prices.
