China isn't buying it anymore, if USAid was still a thing they would end up paying farmers and shipping it to Africa. Now it just rots unless the farmers can find a new buyer.

China said Thursday that the U.S. is not engaged in talks to come up with a new trade deal, a characterization that Trump rejected later in the day.

They had meetings this morning, and weve been meeting with China. And, so I think you have as usual, I think you have your reporting wrong, Trump told reporters Thursday.
I would love to see so much more aggressive pushback from reporters when he says shit like this. This administration has constantly been lying about these supposed trade deal talks from all these different countries.

That 12k metric tons doesn't necessarily mean wasted product if that is what some of you are concerned about. Those pigs likely haven't even been butchered yet. And even if they are and are being stored at the various packing plants, probably at Swift since I believe they export the most pork to China, they will reach out to the buyers of companies they have contracts with to help out. Typically that takes the form of a vendor sponsored TPD if they need to offload a lot of extra product.

Means you could be seeing some sales in stores.

Hopefully they sell it to Canada. That way we get more pork products up here, and the US won't be entirely without it.

Yes we are.
Contact your state reps and ask them to buy the pork for the food banks.

Depending how far in advance these shipments were canceled, some of the pork might still be breathing.

American farmers and agriculture workers will once again take the brunt of Trump's economic policies and this time its unlikely the administration will bail them out.

I mean, according to the article, China is the world's leading producer of pork at 57m tonnes last year. 12k is nothing to them.

While true, America thanks to the Trump administration has also geared up the possibility that it will go elsewhere for alternatives.

We didnt just flip the bird to China, we are also doing it to our allies. Trump and many Americans overestimate our importance and reliance on the global stage.

Pretty sure China is in no way relevantly harmed by what the US is doing.

You could have eaten there. KFC hasn't been American for a very long time. The Colonel moved to Canada in the 60s, and then a company in the UK licensed his recipe. I forget the company name, but you can buy the seasoning in a 2 gallon bucket. It's only Yum foods that is American. I have to double check but I think our KFC is owned by a different company.
