To be fair to the US, it goes back WAYYYY further than that.

The dirty secret of international fair trade, is that there is no international fair trade. And there never has been.

It's not the fault of the US for ag subsidies. Not even the fault of China if we're being honest. It's just how things have always been since before the Phoenecians even.

Pro tip:

"Empires", are not built on "fair trade".

Yep. It's nobody's fault that, surprise surprise, countries look out for their own best interests.
