Trump administration ramps up farm aid discussions amid tariff fallout
Trump’s Agriculture secretary met with the Senate Agriculture Committee phone number library chair at the White House complex Thursday.




Trump administration officials are assuring farm-state Republicans they will funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to farmers who are hit by President Donald Trump’s intensifying trade war.

But it may be some time before any money is released. The administration wants to take stock of the economic fallout of the tariffs in the agriculture sector before rolling out aid, officials have told Republicans on Capitol Hill, according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter. That will likely take several more months.
