China placed a 25 percent retaliatory tariff on multiple U.S. goods, including sorghum, soybeans, cotton, wheat, vegetables, beef, pork, and others and will go into effect on July 6. This action was in response to the U.S. issuing a 25 percent tariff Friday on 1,102 Chinese goods. National Sorghum Producers Chairman and Nebraska farmer Don Bloss issued the following statement: “National Sorghum Producers, alongside our producers, stakeholders and partners, have already seen the market uncertainty and price fluctuations that occur when China retaliates on U.S. goods. We urge President Trump and the Administration to move forward with constructive trade negotiations that will end tariffs on U.S. agriculture, especially during times of existing economic stress. American farmers depend on trade with China, and these tariffs will have devastating effects on U.S. agriculture. We greatly value our business relationship with Chinese buyers and hope to see this win-win relationship move forward.”
