We are in an escalating trade war with
China for as to pork we may have an ally
China is being hit with a strain of
African swine in an increasing deadly tally
No cure or vaccine so the only
remedy is to cull infected pigs from the farm
The epidemic appears to be spreading
and farmers are raising the alarm
If the disease reaches the magnitude
of the bird flu that gripped Hong Kong
Millions will be slaughtered and
into a pork part shortage China will be headlong
The Chinese love their pig feet, pig
ears and pig blood soup
With reduced domestic supplies those
favorites due to tariffs will be squeezed out of the culinary loop
Trump needs all the help he can get
to bolster his negotiating skills
Even if it is the African swine flu
increasing the number of pigs in China killed
Assuming the Chinese have and
enforce laws against selling in the Chinese marts
Contaminated by the African swine
flu pork and pig parts
