Bill > SJR110

This resolution calls attention to the negative economic impacts of the ongoing trade war with China, specifically focusing on how Wisconsin soybean farmers have been harmed. The resolution highlights that the $1.3 billion Wisconsin soybean industry is suffering because China has shifted its soybean purchases to Argentina, effectively cutting off a major market for Wisconsin farmers. The document criticizes the Trump Administration for providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina through a currency swap while simultaneously allowing the trade war with China to damage domestic agricultural interests. The resolution notes that President Trump previously described the trade war as "punishment to our farmers" and claimed he would not allow such economic harm, yet Wisconsin's 16,000 soybean farmers continue to experience significant economic challenges. Furthermore, the resolution suggests that the administration's actions contradict its stated commitment to prioritizing American economic interests, as the current trade policies appear to be undermining rather than supporting domestic agricultural producers.
