The ag sector is already weighing in on President Trump’s new tariff plan as many speculate over potential ripple effects for U.S. farmers.

National Farmers Union President Rob Larew joined RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender to discuss what he is hearing from the ag community, how the 34 percent tariff on Chinese foods will impact trade tensions for U.S. farmers, and their letter to President Trump, which calls for trade de-escalation with the EU.
