How come a US Secretary of State dares to instruct a Sovereign State on its Domestic Policies ? How come The Secretary has time to devote to less than 2 billion $ of exports?? How come times are so desperate in Trump Land ??? Moreover, why are there so many c.c. lines in the letter, was it designed to be leaked to the public ? CHICAGO - The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday confirmed private sales to China of 68,000 tonnes of soybeans for the 2019/20 marketing year, the first such purchase by a private buyer since the trade war between the world's two largest economies broke out more than a year ago.Aug 1, 2019 So far this year, American farmers have sold some 8.2 million metric tons of soybeans to China, down from 21.4 million metric tons during the same period in 2017, according to the latest USDA figures.Dec 12, 2018 Come on, you people make this way to easy!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthhurts Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The USA is now the equivalent of the big bully in the school who takes money off weak kids. Very much a reflection of its leader. Someone who had, at best, a chequered education. So much so he has, (along with his tax records, converstaions at state visits with leaders like Putin) hidden them from the electorate so as to avoid scrutiny and accountability. He's a cheat and liar. This latest stunt is a cheap way a garnering a few votes with the murkier side of wall street and some of the trailer park trash that like cowardly bravado. Let's hope for the world's sake he has consigned to an embarrassing chapter in history next year otherwise I fear a new lee Harvey Oswald might materialize. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat Brad Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 So, the US in typical bully form is telling Thailand to continue supporting US chemical companies OR they'll stop purchasing Thai goods. Why would not using them have any affect on exporting agricultural produce? All the US cares about is the US!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they're not. They're saying that it will affect US exports into Thailand, not the other way round. They do claim that it will cost Thai farmers large amounts of money because of increased costs but there is no mention of any threat in regard to Thai produce being sold in the US.

What the hell would it have to do with exports from the US? Farmers pay people to spray who HAVE bery short lives. Thats fact because its dam obvious if you live amoungst farmers as we do. paying for weed removal isnt any different but just a little slower. Not all weees need to be pulled either and can in fact help richen the sil when rotared or plowed for next harvest. This story is rubbish and jusy about someones wealth who isnt a farmer at all.

xtrnuno41 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 People in the world should understand , you cant trust the USA anymore. Like the blonde said " USA first " They changed their ways and are after world domination. Of course there are many stockholders of Monsanto (USA) and they see their money slip away. Of course US government is very into those wealthy investors and now they lobby for it. They are now pushing Thailand to go on, otherwise impacts on business, so income. already threatening. I wonder what they are doing in Africa where they buy many land. It;s real time to break up those stupid big companies with their negative impacts on the world. Guess its already too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileydude Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Greed and interests knows no boundaries. We often look at less developed countries as corrupt and violating human rights yet one of the most advanced countries in the world does it on a systematic basis albeit in the form of trade deals, GSP privileges, tariffs, non-tariff barriers etc (aka economic bullying) Money talks and ethics walks.
