WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on May 9 said the United States will next week begin purchasing $3 billion worth of dairy, meat, and produce from farmers as unemployment soars and people are forced to food lines.
“Starting early next week, at my order, the USA will be purchasing, from our Farmers, Ranchers & Specialty Crop Growers, 3 Billion Dollars worth of Dairy, Meat & Produce for Food Lines & Kitchens,” Trump wrote in a post on Twitter.
