    “India brags about having 1.4 billion people but won’t buy even a small amount of American corn,” Lutnick said

    Have you tried being less of an insufferably arrogant bunch of assholes?

    Maybe that would make people more interested in doing business with you.

    Ah yes, that traditional Indian cuisine: corn. How odd that they’re not buying American corn.

        I’m sure it’s delicious. Indian food is awesome! But it’s … just … not common to use corn, so expecting India to export huge amounts of corn is silly.

          Yeah lentils and rice are the staples. When I go to the Indian grocery they have about 20 different flour types from different grain sources, corn flour is not a big one. USA is just stupid, like them trying to force substandard meat on other trade partners.

            Smart people make the products people want.

            Americans insist everybody has to buy whatever shit they push out.

            We call this “capitalism” apparently.
