Relating to: calling for the immediate resolution to the trade war with China.
AJR 117 is a non-binding Wisconsin legislative resolution calling on the federal government to immediately resolve the U.S.-China trade war. It specifically highlights harm to Wisconsin’s soybean industry, noting that 16,000 farmers and a $1.3 billion sector face lost access to China - the world’s top soybean buyer - while Argentina now supplies China instead due to federal trade actions. The resolution argues that current federal priorities, including a $20 billion Argentina bailout, undermine Wisconsin farmers without addressing the trade war. As a symbolic measure, it does not change laws but urges federal action to protect the state’s agricultural economy.
