# Will more Trump tariffs hurt or help U.S. farmers?

> A Farm Progress commentary asks whether renewed Trump tariffs would hurt or help U.S. farmers, citing a USDA estimate of about $27 billion in lost ag exports from 2018 to 2019 tied largely to the China trade war. It notes that Biden has kept the China tariffs in place while Republicans have signaled support for tariffs.

## Why it matters

Expectations of renewed China tariffs would weigh on US soybean and corn export demand, which is a bearish risk for those prices if such policy materializes. The piece is commentary rather than a new trade action.
