About a month ago bloomberg.com had an article about shifting soy beans supply chains:

“If China implements tariffs, we believe the EU will import more U.S. beans than Brazilian origin,” said Michael Magdovitz, a London-based oilseeds analyst at Rabobank, a lender to agricultural commodity traders. “The discounted price of U.S. beans compared to Brazilian origin will cause that to happen.”

Today, our so-called president took credit for a "great deal" on soy beans that he made with EU, which overall sounds like in an old Soviet joke:

Если девушка красива и в постели горяча,
Это личная заслуга Леонида Ильича.

The Chinese are now buying more from Brazil, instead of the US; and EU is buying more from the US, instead of Brazil.

upd. I wonder who bullshits whom. It's quite possible that people around Covfefe fool him into believing he's making these great deals on soy beans and LNG.
