Trump cranks up the anti-China rhetoric again

  • Stocks slump
Trump Xi trade war

Here we go again:

  • Trump says China not buying US soybeans is an 'economically hostile act'
  • Says they are considering terminating business with China to do with cooking oil and other elements of trade as retribution
  • We can easily produce cooking oil ourselves

Trump's tweet:

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

Now we're fighting over cooking oil?
