Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Aid Package for Farmers Hit by Trade War
In a significant announcement, President Trump is set to unveil a $12 billion aid package aimed at supporting U.S. farmers who have been adversely affected by his trade policies, particularly the ongoing trade war with China. The White House has indicated that this financial relief is designed to mitigate the impact of tariffs that have resulted in export losses and low prices for agricultural products. The aid package will be detailed in a forthcoming roundtable discussion, where Trump is expected to outline the specifics of the proposal, which includes bridge payments for farmers in distress. This initiative marks a response to mounting pressures faced by the agricultural sector amid trade tensions.
