GILROY, Calif.—The United States’ largest garlic grower is backing Trump’s trade policy on China, and says the move to impose tariffs will save the U.S. garlic industry.

“We are very grateful to the U.S. trade representative for enacting tariffs on Chinese garlic,” said Ken Christopher, the executive vice president of Christopher Ranch, who identified himself as a third-generation garlic farmer. Christopher Ranch farms on 5,700 acres throughout California and provides distribution nationwide, as well as in Canada and Mexico.
