President Trump is backing America’s farmers and ranchers in the midst of tariff uncertainty.
In a joint session of Congress, the President reassured farmers, but warned there could be an adjustment period in the coming weeks.
“I love the farmers, who will now be selling into our home market, the USA. Nobody is going to be able to compete with you because there are goods that come in from other countries and companies. They’re really, really in a bad position in so many different ways. They’re uninspected, they may be very dirty and disgusting, and they come in and they pour in and they hurt our farmers. The tariffs will go on agricultural products coming into America, and our farmers, starting on April 2nd, it may be a little bit of an adjustment period. We had that before when I made the deal with China, which was $50 billion in purchases. I said just bear with me, and they did. They will probably have to bear with me again, and this will be even better. The problem with it was that Biden didn’t enforce it, didn’t enforce $50 billion of purchases that were doing great, but Biden didn’t enforce it, and it hurt our farmers. But our farmers are going to have a field day right now, so to our farmers, have a lot of fun. I love you, too.”
Trump says other countries have used tariffs for decades and says it has been very unfair.
