China canceled 12,000 metric tons of United States pork shipments amid a high-stakes trade standoff between the superpowers, according to data released Thursday.
Well it’s a free market right?
The US was buying pork from China (article says they make up ~50% of the world’s supply). Not understanding these ‘cheap pork’ comments…
U.S. pork imports are now facing a 172 percent tariff, the U.S. Meat Export Federation said, according to Bloomberg News.

I had no idea our pork comes from china. Good thing I don’t eat red meat anymore
These are pork exports to China
Isn’t pork considered white meat?
Some cuts of pork are considered white under the culinary definition, but all pork is considered red meat in nutritional studies.

Oh wait, no they will just keep the price difference because they suck.
Why are you guys talking about cheap pork? This is the opposite of that.
I just woke up but it seems obvious?
Yeah I thought the point is more expensive pork since we’re importing them from China. What are these guys saying and why are they getting upvoted?
This is exports to China. They are they buyers and they cancelled the orders.
Man, I had to read the linked sources to understand what was going on. How do you write all this and it doesn’t even make sense.

The title maybe makes it sound like china was buying pork from the US. Maybe since usually it’s a buyer that would cancel an order (as a seller would usually sell to anyone willing to pay the market price.)
All of the bacon and booze not exported, will help swallow down the misery.
