Couldn't find bloomberg or Reuters source. Implication is harm to US producers by having oversupply situation, from both return of pork and no new orders.

Brazil and Spain exports to China surged, and look like a structural shift for US industry decline.

China is the world’s biggest producer of pork and also the 3:rd largest importer of pork. Now they are no longer a customer of US based pork producers. Hmm.

If US industry was a classroom, trump would be a school shooter.

missed the point that it was prepaid and in transit. Which has a more interesting FU aspect to it, rather than the more obvious no more orders if 175% tariffs are added.

Sounds like Spain is going to enjoy some pork.

I misread this as a 12kT pork impact and was wondering how the pigs got into space.
