USDA is working to support global food nutrition. The Department is providing $480 million to purchase American-grown commodities for international food assistance programs.

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas joined RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander to discuss how the programs work and what we can expect from the new initiative, how it is a win for U.S. producers, and if this program would be at risk with a looming government shutdown.
