# US agricultural exports/imports threatened by Trump trade actions | Reuters

> Trump's proposed trade actions threaten US agricultural exports to key markets such as Mexico, Japan and Colombia. Census data show 2024 wheat export values down about 2% through November, pressured by cheaper Russian supplies. Beef and pork exports were up in 2024 on tight domestic supplies and strong demand.

## Why it matters

Retaliatory tariffs on US farm goods would cut export demand and pressure domestic prices for grains and oilseeds. Export-value data also show competition from Black Sea supplies limiting US wheat pricing power.
