Ag Secretary Rollins answers questions about money for struggling U.S. farmers

Описание: President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the U.S. would be providing $12 billion in economic assistance to American farmers struggling due to inflation.

“They’re the backbone of our country,” Trump said during a roundtable discussion, referring to farmers.

“So we’re going to use that money to provide $12 billion in economic assistance to American farmers. $12 billion is a lot of money.”

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and some farmers were in attendance at the roundtable discussion.

“We are holding $1 billion back just to ensure we are covering,” said Secretary Rollins. “So today’s announcement covers all all of our row crops, some specialty crops and others that we are still working with to best understand where they are in the farm economy.”
