What do you bet, we do? If we don't regulate our own farmers and

out of existence, we'll be fine.

Some here don't realize that Trump is using the *threat* of tariffs as a
*bargaining chip*... the latest:
Trump says Mexico will stop flow of migrants after speaking with Mexican
president following tariff threats
Trump threatened to impose a 25% across-the-board tariff on Mexico on
the first day of his presidency

"On Wednesday, Trump said he spoke with  Sheinbaum about the matter...
"Just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico,
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo," he wrote on Truth Social. "She has agreed to
stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively
closing our Southern Border. We also talked about what can be done to
stop the massive drug inflow into the United States, and also, U.S.
consumption of these drugs. It was a very productive conversation!".
In a post on X, Sheinbaum said she spoke with Trump by phone and that
the two discussed "strengthening collaboration on security issues" and
that the conversation was "excellent," Reuters reported..."
