      As a general rule, when governments make deals with other countries and don’t do what they say, it tends to sour their negotiations with other countries. And that backwater country is the seventh largest exporter worldwide of a staple crop (it used to sell more before a certain war started). Now, America probably doesn’t import much wheat from Ukraine, but there’s a funny thing about globally traded commodities…
