Whatever China paid for that wheat wasn't nearly enough.   The U.S. should cancel the order and tell them the price they agreed to pay wasn't enough. If they still want the wheat, it should cost them more.

I feel roaringtiger1 has things figured right,  regarding selling wheat to China. 

Theyd jab anyone for more money whenever they get the chance.

Who owns "The Atlantic"?

"David G. Bradley (born 1953)^[1] is the owner of Atlantic Media,...

"Politics

Politically, Bradley considers himself a centrist.^[1] In the 2008 U.S. presidential primaries he donated $4,300 to Hillary Clinton and $2,300 to Barack Obama and to Mitt Romney.^[9]" - Wiki

Stalin, Mao and Hitler were also great "centerists" of their day.

In the end , daddy likes China , he tweeted tough on the China virus and then sidled up to Xi when he needed to , he just knows how to play rubes and both sides and keeps some eating out of his hands.

Here is Rodney Dangerfield in the movie Back to School explaining to a knowitall professor about the REAL cost of doing business..."greasing the palms of politicians"   🙂     To get a skyscraper built to Democrat run New York City, there was a lot of palms that needed grease.
