Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue on Thursday (May 23) released the details of another round of trade aid for farmers impacted by retaliatory tariffs and trade disruption. “President Trump has great affection for America’s farmers and ranchers, and he knows they are bearing the brunt of these trade disputes,” Perdue said. “In fact, I’ve never known of a president that has been more concerned or interested in farmer wellbeing and long-term profitability than President Trump. The plan we are announcing today ensures farmers do not bear the brunt of unfair retaliatory tariffs imposed by China and other trading partners.”
