**When it comes to trade negotiations and the trade war with China, one economist says the communist country is "counting on surviving President Trump."

Ag Economist Arlan Suderman tells agweb.com, President Trump may not have time to work out the details left to secure a long-term deal with China.

**The White House is preparing for a potential fight to get its new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement deal through Congress.

Pro Farmer policy analyst Jim Wiesemeyer tells agweb.com, Democrats want the administration to add provisions to the USMCA that will ensure Mexico enforces environmental protections and allows its workers to form unions freely.

Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley warns the Administration needs to lift steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico if it wants the pact to pass.
