   This state grows a significant portion of the soybeans previously sold to   
   China.   
      
   Trump's dispute with China has resulted in China buying NO more soybeans from   
   the United States.   
      
   China has placed huge orders for soybeans in Argentina.   
      
   Now the striking thing is... Trump has pledged $20 to $40 billion in aid to   
   Argentina.   
      
   So Trump is helping Argentina, while the red state of Iowa is struggling. The   
   local economy in Iowa has shrunk by 6.1%.   
      
   Trump is now in Asia, and Xi has verbally indicated that China will start   
   buying soybeans from the US again, but I'll have to wait and see. China has   
   the US by the scruff of the neck, and I can't imagine them changing their   
   policy after a single conversation with Trump.
