Trump to announce $12 billion aid package to farmers

President Donald Trump is set to announce on Monday that his administration is doling out a $12 billion aid package to farmers who have been squeezed by a trade war between the U.S. and its top economic partners.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins will join Trump at a roundtable event unveiling the economic assistance, a White House official told CNBC.
Most of that money — up to $11 billion — will go to the U.S. Agriculture Department’s new Farmer Bridge Assistance program, which will provide one-time payments to row crop farmers, the official said.
Can't believe the Chinese wouldn't hold up there end of the deal.
The remaining $1 billion will be reserved as the USDA evaluates changing market conditions, according to the official.
Trump is set to hold a roundtable event at the White House at 2 p.m. ET. The president will also be joined by members of Congress and farmers who raise cattle and grow corn, cotton, sorghum, soybean, rice, wheat and potatoes, the White House official said.

But some in America’s agriculture industry say they are suffering as a result of the wide-ranging trade war — especially due to conflicts with China, a major U.S. customer.
China stopped buying U.S. soybeans for several months, most notably during the key harvest season beginning in the fall.
Beijing resumed buying some soybeans in late October as Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping neared a tentative trade truce. But China’s imports of the crop do not appear to be rebounding to their current levels, and Beijing’s stockpiles have swelled to recent highs.
Can't believe the Chinese wouldn't hold up their end of the deal.

You fricking people just don't get it. The DEMOCRATS DESTROYED the Farming Industry so Trump is trying to help them get back on their feet due to what the Democrats did to the industry.
You don't bitch about the TRILLIONS in Democrat fraud that has been discovered but you bitch about Trump helping out farmers that the Democrats destroyed. You people are a bunch of fricking morons

It's truly unbelievable how they hold Trump accountable to an a bullshite standard as if the last 12/16 years didn't happen, and then bitch when Trump hasn't fixed it in 10 months.

Both parties have done plenty to destroy everything. Trying to throw this on Democrats is totally insane.

Sane people don't bitch because DOGE was a huge failure that promised Trillions in 'fraud' and delivered 150 billion which is a rounding error with the way both Republicans and Democrats spend money. Lets not forget Trump spent almost 8 Trillion in his first term and is going to beat that this term.

What, specifically, are you talking about?
Don't just pivot to some generic "trade deficit" nonsense.

How many farms qualify? There’s around 1.8 million farms in US
11 billion is like 6,000 dollars per farm if all farms received aid. Of course it will vary per the size of each farm and I’m sure some large operations may not qualify for aid but still doesn’t seem like it would help much if you’re 6 figures or more underwater

Reagan and Bush allowed broke nations to pay back their debt with agricultural products, which flooded the markets, driving American farmers out of business. I believe Clinton did the same.

I mean, this happened in Trump's first term. We know what the cause is. We just don't want to actually say that tariffs caused this.
Just like we don't want to admit that small business bankruptcies have surged to an all-time high.
Maybe tariffs are not magic money afterall.
