Read enough to note the bias.
The US was buying pork from China (article says they make up ~50% of the world’s supply). Not understanding these ‘cheap pork’ comments…
U.S. pork imports are now facing a 172 percent tariff, the U.S. Meat Export Federation said, according to Bloomberg News.
Americans have this deeply ingrained misunderstanding of their trade relationships with the rest of the world, that's why it was so easy to mislead majority of them into believing whatever the fuck nonsense they voted for.
Well it's a free market right?
mac rib is coming back
Hey, at least your gonna have cheap pork for a while America.
? Why would they lower prices after people have already shown they're willing to pay what's posted?
Yes! Bacon sandwiches on discount.
Oh wait, no they will just keep the price difference because they suck.
Why are you guys talking about cheap pork? This is the opposite of that.
I just woke up but it seems obvious?
Yeah I thought the point is more expensive pork since we're importing them from China. What are these guys saying and why are they getting upvoted?
This is exports to China. They are they buyers and they cancelled the orders.
Man, I had to read the linked sources to understand what was going on. How do you write all this and it doesn't even make sense.

The title maybe makes it sound like china was buying pork from the US. Maybe since usually it’s a buyer that would cancel an order (as a seller would usually sell to anyone willing to pay the market price.)
I had no idea our pork comes from china. Good thing I don't eat red meat anymore
These are pork exports to China
Isn’t pork considered white meat?
Some cuts of pork are considered white under the culinary definition, but all pork is considered red meat in nutritional studies.
From Wikipedia.
Did not know that
All of the bacon and booze not exported, will help swallow down the misery.
