This president's administrations, 2017 to 2021 and 2025 to ?, have imposed tariffs on China resulting in China refusing to buy soybeans from American farmers.
In the first term, "The fallout was so painful that the administration delivered more than $20 billion in aid to farmers."
In the first year of this second and final term, "Republican lawmakers have estimated that, this time around, farmers could need as much as $50 billion in economic support."
"Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent even blamed the Biden administration for the predicament."
