U.S. beef exports soared to record levels in 2018 thanks to exports to Asia, but it wasn't sales to China that drove the growth.

div > div.group > p:first-child"> "We just regained access to China in the middle of 2017, so about a year later we got slapped with a higher tariff rate," said Joe Schuele, a spokesman for the U.S. Meat Export Federation, a trade group."China is still the fastest-growing beef market in the world, and we feel there's a lot of potential there, but a lot of obstacles keep it from being a major market for us at this time.

According to the USMEF, exports last year soared to $8.33 billion, shattering the previous year's record by more than $1 billion and representing a 15 percent increase in dollar terms. South Korea accounted for more than half of the total increase, as red-meat consumption continues to rise there. On a volume basis, 2018 U.S. beef exports were up 7 percent to 1.35 million metric tons, which is above the previous record tallied in 2011.

US should address currency manipulation with China, says US Rep. Dan Kildee'I think the president has not handled the North Korean situation the way he should.

It's called MAGA. From a shitty economy to the best in the world. Sounds like an overheated economy to me Fourth paragraph; shouldn't the import and export numbers be in $ trillion instead of $ billion?

Trade deficit soars to 10-year high in 2018, foiling Trump White House effort to rein it inThe nation’s trade deficit shot to a 10-year high in 2018 despite frenzied efforts by the Trump White House to reduce the gap, reflecting both the strength of the U.S. economy and the thorny nature of a problem that’s bedeviled presidents for decades. Looks like Putins plan for a bankrupt America is working. Maybe it has something to do with our economy being so strong and growing and the worlds economy is struggling and slowing. In other words our citizens have more money to spend. Liberal logic - let’s slow our economy down to lower the trade deficit. 😂 this Pig knew the second he became POTUS he was going to screw every American and do exactly what he wanted!!
