She emphasized that U.S. foreign policy is undergoing a deeper shift that extends beyond Donald Trump, and that even with a potential administration change in Washington, a return to past models of U.S. leadership is unlikely.

No grain self-sufficiency in China without changes to land policies

webfull — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 15:28:53 +0000
