Hey there! Have you ever thought about where your food comes from? 🌽
Meet Caleb, a farmer from Kentucky in the United States. He grows soybeans, which are tiny beans used in many foods like tofu and soy milk! 🥛
Caleb is feeling worried because there’s something called a “trade war” between the United States and China. But what does that mean?
A trade war happens when countries put extra taxes, called tariffs, on goods they buy and sell to each other. This makes things more expensive and can cause problems for people who make and sell those goods.
China used to buy lots of soybeans from farmers like Caleb. But because of the trade war, China is buying soybeans from other places like Brazil. This means Caleb and other farmers are having trouble selling their soybeans. 😟
Caleb and many other farmers rely on selling their crops to make money for their families. Without China buying their soybeans, it’s hard for them to earn a living.
So, Caleb wrote a letter to President Trump, asking him to end the trade war with China. He said, “Please make a deal with China now!” He hopes that if the trade war ends, farmers can sell their soybeans again and take care of their families.
Many other farmers feel the same way. They just want to keep farming and sharing their food with the world! 🌍
It’s important for countries to work together so everyone can have the things they need. Let’s hope they can find a way to make peace and help farmers like Caleb. 🤗
