09/25/25: Joel Heitkamp is joined on "News and Views" by Mark Watne, the President of North Dakota Farmers Union, to have a conversation about soybeans and tariffs. 

This week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the U.S. government was in negotiations to extend a $20 billion swap line to the Argentine government and potentially purchase the country’s foreign bonds. Almost immediately after, a reported 20 shiploads of Argentine soybeans were purchased by China after the Argentine government announced it would waive taxes on its soybean exports.
