Two weeks before the election, it became known that the Donald Trump administration would be giving more than $50 billion to farmers affected by trade wars
Four years ago, farmers in fluctuating states supported Trump. Taking over the White House, he launched a trade war with China, provoking a retaliatory action. Beijing imposed customs duties on American agricultural products. Given the high competition on the world market, US farmers suffered billions of losses.
Despite this, Trump still expects to get their votes. In this regard, Washington will pay 51.2 billion dollars to farmers. With this record, the government’s share of net cash income for farmers will increase to 39.7%.
