WASHINGTON—The Trump administration has stepped up efforts to protect American farmers who face a large negative impact from the U.S.-China trade war, announcing a new $16 billion aid package in an effort to keep the farmers afloat.
“The $16 billion in funds will help keep our cherished farms thriving and make clear that no country has a veto on America’s economic and national security,” President Donald Trump said May 23 during his meeting with farmers and ranchers at the White House.
