President Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Farm Aid Amid Trade Disputes with China
President Donald Trump is preparing to unveil a $12 billion farm aid package designed to support U.S. farmers affected by low crop prices and ongoing trade disputes, particularly with China. The aid package, which includes $11 billion for the Farmer Bridge Assistance program and $1 billion for other crops, aims to help farmers market their current harvest and plan for future crops. The announcement comes as the agriculture sector faces significant challenges due to tariffs and trade tensions, with soybean and sorghum farmers among the hardest hit. The package is intended to act as a financial bridge until the administration's policies create a more favorable market environment. The announcement is scheduled to take place at the White House, with key government officials and members of Congress in attendance.
