Trump Promises Aid to Farmers Funded by Tariff Revenue
In recent statements, President Trump announced plans to use revenue generated from tariffs to provide financial assistance to struggling farmers. He acknowledged that farmers are facing challenges due to his tariffs, which have affected their income amid ongoing trade tensions, particularly with China. Trump indicated that some of the revenue will be allocated directly to support farmers, while officials within the USDA are exploring options for a comprehensive farmer bailout package. The administration is expected to unveil details of the relief initiative in the coming weeks, with claims that aid will be distributed until the tariffs start benefiting the agricultural sector.
