  • Trump threatens Japan with new tariffs, claiming it won’t buy America’s rice

    From cnn.com

    President Donald Trump is threatening to impose higher tariffs on Japanese exports to the United States over what he claims is the country’s unwillingness to buy American-grown rice. “They won’t take our RICE, and yet they have a massive rice shortage. In other words, we’ll just be sending them a letter, and we love having them as a Trading Partner for many years to come,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Trump’s claim that Japan “won’t take” rice from the US isn’t true. The country bought $298 million worth of rice from the US last year, according to US Census Bureau trade data. Between ...

In many US food products are toxic and other harmfull substances added, which are strictly forbidden in the EU.

But who cares. Trumps admin fired half of the food control staff.

I saw an interview with an FDA representative explaining the differences between their operations and those in the EU. The main reason (that stuck in my mind) was that in the US, once initial testing is passed, there is no follow-up monitoring. There were quite a few examples given where both the EU and US had approved a new product, but the EU had later banned it due to follow-up tests. In addition, where products are controlled or have some restrictions (e.g. allowed but only up to a certain dose), there tends to be better monitoring and enforcement in the EU than US. The rationale being that the EU reports on black market activity and prosecutes offenders, while the US had no known black market (i.e. it was not monitored), and so no prosecutions.

You must be very right, the majority of US citizens are just like their president in all manner and that's why they elected their own..

While threatening Japan is he aware that USA oves the biggest debt to Japan as well?

On the other hand American rice is not suitable for Asia market. They don't consume fat looking rice. They consume thin and long version. How Trump can force Japan to buy rice from them? They don't consume that type of rice at all

Idiot. Your brain is suffering already from food additives .

Food manufacturers have more "freedom" to put whatever they like in (your) food.

News reports from early 2025 indicate that the Trump administration initiated workforce reductions at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), impacting areas including food safety. The precise number of food safety staff reductions is not clearly stated as half, but there were layoffs of recently hired employees who reviewed food safety among other areas. One report mentions that 89 people were cut from the FDA's human foods program, including staff with infant formula expertise and those reviewing potentially unsafe food ingredients. These layoffs were part of a broader government plan to reduce federal workforce size, involving multiple agencies under the Department of Health and Human Services.

Your TDS is so severe your solution would be to have THE SAME PEOPLE TRUMP PURGED to keep working at the FDA to allow food manufactures to keep adding chemicals to our food products instead of changing the way the FDA monitors food safety.

Karmelo did not even run a political campaign. She ran a campaign of “joy”. I wish I were joking, her words not mine. Her handlers knew that 48% of the voting population doesn’t understand the first thing about policy and float through each day of their lives on emotional whim. If you need examples just read through Forex Factory comment sections. These losers’ entire lives revolve around crying and screaming under each article posted. Thankfully they are almost exclusively foreigners and have no say on the matter. FF ad revenue must be incredible during Trump admins.

They don't want the GMO rice and chemicals we use to grow it - and neither does Europe or any country that cares about its health.
