U.S.-Japan Corn Deal Has Just One Flaw: Japan Doesn’t Need the Corn

With U.S.

corn farmers hammered by the trade war with China, President Trump has said Japan—its own crop hurt by a bug infestation—will buy enough to pick up the slack.Agriculture specialists say the bug problem isn’t severe enough to affect import demand. And an official at the Ministry of Agriculture,...

twherohan North korean's current harvest was ruined completely this past weeks. China is in need of animal feeds to supplement their meat industry urgently but would not lose face to buy direct from USA. I think Japan had engineered a great deal.

USMCA needs finished.. I don't understand why it doesn't have a positive action requirement.. We need to make some adjustments as to how things work in our government.. Accountability..

Japan bought corns for 1. there’s incentive to discount, 2. corn can be stored and used in the later season 3. Hedging against insect damage (the kind of damages that Japanese corn farmers have been reporting have upward trend in numbers, and possible to be pandemic one day).

We bouta sale they ass plastic just like they did us shid

Here’s another flaw: our trading relationships with certain countries that import mainly raw materials and ag goods and export back high value-added goods at artificially low prices. It’s a recipe for low growth and reduced prosperity for America.

Maybe they want to make Japanese moonshine?

Oh ?

The saying “he could sell snow to an Eskimo” comes to mind. Great job President Trump!

Well there goes the art of the deal out the window

Ythey dont want American corn anyway. Its patented as a pesticide from Monsanto.

At one point, you folks will realize you elected a con...one day perhaps

Poor Japan

Is it true story, which is Never heard in Japan?

Japan cannot said No to US.

Countries essentially have two choices: (1) Revalue currency or (2) Buy US products separately. Choice 1 would make them less competitive to the rest of the world and not just the US, so choice 2 is less costly and their export sector can retain their competitiveness.

Abe is increasingly looking like a poodle of DJT. It’s not a good optic for one of the great economic power of the world to sink to such low level. At the end, DJT respects strength and exploits the weak. He will see the weakness of Abe as a license to keep squeezing for more.

Ugh; international leaders are sinking to the depths plumbed by the current cabinet and GOP generally: accept something you don't want or need just to avoid drawing the ire of the baby-in-chief.

A part of the corn for Japanese barn animals have a bad harvest this year. Therefore the Japanese farming family will buy corn for their barn animal from the United States. Japan have nothing to loss in the import of corn from the United States.

GIVE IT AWAY

Japan has suffered damage from materials for livestock this year. Japan took measures Does the Wall Street Journal tell you to starve Japanese animals? In animal abuse? The Wall Street Journal isn't reporting

Trump's mafia way of doing business!!

How crazy can it get ?

Why should Japan buy? Are they that docile to the USA? Maybe they should pay double the market rate as they never paid reparations

In my opinion, Japanese government should buy extra corn. It does not matter trump’s Ire.

we didn’t need Pearl Harbor either but here we are

bully
