LA's top export partner is China w/ $7.9 Billion & its second highest export good is agricultural is $15.8B. Soybeans comprises >$12B. Will our GOP Reps defend us? @BillCassidy @SenJohnKennedy @SteveScalise @RepClayHiggins @RepAbraham @RepMikeJohnson @RepGarretGraves
Data from the US Commerce Dept showing China is La's top export partner. Will our GOP reps defend us against Trump?? trade.gov/mas/ian/stater…
Data from US Census showing that Soybeans comprise $12.4 Billion in LA exports. Will our GOP reps defend us from Trump in his trade war from China ? census.gov/foreign-trade/…
Unlike sugar cane or rice, soybeans are grown across La.
Will you defend our state against Trump's trade wars or will you stay silent? @SenJohnKennedy @BillCassidy @SteveScalise @RepClayHiggins @RepGarretGraves @RepAbraham @RepMikeJohnson #lalege #lagov theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
Check out this map. Soybeans crops right thru center of state. Will our GOP reps stand up to Trump on behalf of LA's soybean industry? So far crickets. @lagop @LSUAgCenter washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/p…
Just saw this Bloomberg story. Thought maybe just ONE of La reps would speak out to since China is La's top export partner. Hey @SteveScalise are you talking to this economist "close to GOP House Leadership"? YOUR silence is deafening! #TradeWar “ bloomberg.com/amp/news/artic…
Here's a closer look at the map from WaPo in tweet further up thread. Why won't our GOP Congressional delegation defend us against Trump's awful policies? Soybeans grow right through multiple LA districts! Your silence is deafening! You're choosing Trump over constituents!
