A U.S. Congressional Research Service report profiles retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural exports, noting more than 800 products face tariffs from China, the EU, Turkey, Canada and Mexico. China's tariffs cover soybeans, pork, dairy and other products worth about $20.6 billion in 2017.
Broad retaliatory tariffs reduce U.S. export demand for soybeans and other feed-relevant commodities, keeping U.S. prices under pressure relative to competitors.
