When Branstad was Iowa governor I believe he hosted Xi on more than one trip to Iowa to establish trade mainly for soybeans. As a result of that "friendship" Dump made him Ambassador to China which he still is, though I haven't heard anything about him since Dump started the trade war and China looked elsewhere for soybeans. I suspect some Iowa farmers may be concerned that that gigantic soybean market may be gone for good if China finds other suppliers.
Branstad? You there, Terry? You gonna stay with Dump and betray Iowa's farmers?
