Soybean farmers like Kevin Deinert in South Dakota have grain bins full of unsold beans they were planning to send to China before President Trump initiated a trade war with that country. China has recently started buying U.S. soybeans again, but in much smaller quantities than before.

President Trump says he’s sending $12 billion in aid to American farmers who are reeling from global trade disruptions. Those include inflation and Trump’s tariffs that are making fertilizer and farm equipment more expensive, and the President’s trade war with China which closed a huge market for American soybean exports.
