President Trump is threatening to cancel his meeting with Xi Jinping and, in a post on Truth Social, warned of “strange things happening in China.” He says Beijing is planning sweeping export controls on rare earths — and the U.S. is now calculating a massive tariff hike. U.S. businesses trading with China are watching closely —and soybean farmers especially so. We speak to their trade body and ask their reaction. Plus, cocoa prices have taken a tumble to their lowest level in nearly two years, after a wild rally that squeezed chocolate makers and boosted farmer incomes. So what’s behind the drop, and what does it mean for growers on the ground? And Pokémon cards have become a serious business. Since they first came out in 1996, the value of certain rare cards has skyrocketed — we’re talking up to 4,000% over the past two decades. So what’s behind the boom?
