Trump administration plans to help farmers hurt by global trade tensions

Washington (CNN)The Trump administration will announce a plan on Tuesday to extend billions of dollars in aid to farmers negatively affected by tariffs resulting from President Donald Trump's widening trade feud with other countries.

The administration is expected to roll out the plan Tuesday afternoon, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN, offering much-needed support to farmers caught up in the burgeoning trade war.

US agriculture exports have been a prime target of China and other countries that have retaliated against the series of tariffs Trump has imposed in recent months. Politico first reported news of the aid plan.

After Trump announced plans to impose $50 billion in tariffs on Chinese imports, Beijing retaliated with plans to impose tariffs on a range of agricultural products from the US including soybeans, grains, meats and dairy products.

1. Wasn't this called Socialism under the previous administration?

[JI7]

2. no. that's only when black and brown people also benefit

[Roland99]

3. Oh. Right. Silly me

[BSdetect]

4. Its socialism and / or welfare for business.

5. Sure, give the money directly to the "farmers"

Dollars to donuts that the majority will be to corporate farms.

After cutting SNAP, now they will be sure that hungry folks stay that way and don't pass the money through the system to keep the food supply chain healthy from the producers down through the local stores that support the folks on food stamps.

11. Most farming operations are set up as

some type of Corporation in order to take advantage of the Tax code. My guess is this,and this has been done by Rethugs in the past,they will offer low interest disaster loans. Remember,Mnucihin and his mob need to get their skim. Watch for these same loans being extended to the Mega Ag Companies.
Seen this before in the late seventies,why do you think we had the farm crisis of 1980's. And yes,they voted for the same people who screwed them the first time around.

12. Exactly, any successful family farms have followed that model as LLCs

to protect the land and minimize inheritance taxes.

Agree with you that the bankers will likely get a bonanza from this.

16. Looking like what I afore mentioned is coming into focus today.

Golden Crutches!!!!! Right Wing Rethugs hate it.

7. Or he's buying them off until after the midterms

Wouldn't surprise me if he pulled the rug out - until the presidential election.

8. Just enough to get through the election...

Then they will be cut off

But for now they will gladly accept Trump socialism

[bearsfootball516]

9. Yep, just like Carrier in Indiana.

Remember when he campaigned hard in Indiana about how he was going to save all their jobs?

Immediately after the election, he threw them away and they all lost/are losing their jobs.
