Klobuchar accuses Trump of treating farmers like 'poker chips' at his 'bankrupt casinos'

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), a 2020 presidential candidate, lashed out against President Trump Sunday over his recent trade spat with Mexico and its impact on American farmers, calling Trump the “threatener-in-chief.”

“They’re like poker chips basically at one of his bankrupt casinos. I think it’s wrong,” Klobuchar said in an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

Klobuchar called for a more reliable trade policy that would not have unexpected repercussions for farmers or other American industries.

“I think that we should have a consistent, strong trade policy that works for everyone in America,” she said.
