I thought it got doubled to 40 billion.

You're right

So it's actually 2,000x worse

What's an extra 20 billion between despots? Like a rounding error eh? Actually unsure on the Argentina side but if Trump okays billions I think that says enough.

I thought they were referring to the Argentina Soybean sales to China. What is the value of 10 cargo ships of soybeans?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Before the 2018 trade war, the soybean experts to China were only $12.8 billion. And that was the top. It's been significantly less since then even before this second full stop.
