Farmers Grapple with Uncertainty Amid Trump’s Tariff Policies
In recent developments, U.S. farmers are facing significant challenges due to the Trump administration's tariff policies. According to The New York Times, the administration's trade tariffs have led to a series of bailouts aimed at supporting farmers affected by retaliatory measures from other countries. These bailouts, however, have not fully alleviated the financial strain felt by many in the agricultural sector.
