President Donald Trump fired back at critics of his approach to trade and tariffs on July 25 a day after politicians attacked his administration’s plan to give $12 billion in aid to American farmers hurt by retaliatory tariffs.
Senior officials at the Department of Agriculture described the aid as temporary relief for farmers impacted by retaliatory tariffs while U.S. trade representative negotiates long-term deals. On July 24, Trump called for patience and the need to “stick it out.”
