Europe purchasing soybeans represent only a small fraction of what the Chinese bought. Trump's putting lipstick on his Tariff pig!
Yes, China imported 90+ million tons, vs EU 15 million tons , and 5 million tons of that already came from US. And of course the EU soybean buyers still have the option to buy form where ever they want. EU got Trump to play his best card (auto tariffs) without giving anything in return.

If EU decides to by all of its soybean imports from US, we are still going to be hurting big time. And of course the EU soybean buyers still have the option to buy form where ever they want.

yup, EU buying small fraction of what we have b/c China bought all of Brazil's already so we have a glut. Thus, leading to an advantageous position for EU (who had already planned to buy more from us anyway b/c of China moving to Brazil). but that would take an extra 30 seconds of reading/research to find out, so of course Trumpsters don't bother. Just believe what Daddy tells me.

We are going to be hurting big time from a surplus of soy beans? Really?
If the US patches things up with the EU, and other trading partners , it will have no trouble isolating China since there is world wide agreement that China has been dumping steel .
Anyone counting on EU buying enough to make a difference is dreaming. As we speak, the members of the EU is arguing over the deal Juncker reached with Trump.

Yes, really. Why do you think Trump is bailing out the farmers?
