President Trump announced an aid package for farmers today during a roundtable meeting at the White House.
He announced a $12 billion dollar relief package during the meeting, calling farmers “the backbone of America.” President Trump said the relief would come from a fraction of the revenues that come from tariffs. $11 billion will go out to row crop farmers immediately, with $1billion for specialty crop farmers. Trump also said he would remove environmental restrictions on farm equipment.

“We have been listening to the farmers for the last 10 months, that the bridge that is needed to get from the last Administration...to this new golden age for farmers where instead of farming for government checks, they can farm to feed their family and sell their products and pass it on to the next generation.”
