Trump says he will "make it up" to farmers potentially harmed by his trade war (he doesn't say how)
Posted By David Ramsey on Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 4:16 PM
If we do a deal with China during the course of the negotiation they want to hit the farmers because they think that hits me. I wouldn’t say that’s nice, but I tell you our farmers are great patriots. They understand that they’re doing this for the country. We’ll make it up to them. In the end they’re going to be much stronger than they are right now.
"The farmers will be better off than they ever were," Trump said. "It will take a little while to get there, but it could be very quick, actually."
He provided no details about how this might come to be.
China's retaliatory tariffs, if enacted, would likely cause a major hit for the state's farmers, impacting soybeans, ginseng, cotton, sorghum, and pork.
