How Trump Is Helping Tycoons Exploit the Pandemic

by

The New Yorker reports:

Yet reports show that in April, as Tyson and other producers were warning that “millions of pounds of meat will disappear” from American stores if they had to shut down, exports of pork to China broke records—and Mountaire’s chicken exports were 3.4 per cent higher than they were a year earlier.
