President Donald Trump paid a visit to thousands of American farmers at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual convention in New Orleans on Jan. 14, as they continue to go through struggles after many years of growing burdens from government regulation and now, added pressures from the trade war with China.

In his speech, Trump defended his tough trade policies, saying that his administration is “fighting for our great farmers” and renegotiating fairer trade deals with China, the European Union, Canada, and Mexico.
