Trump offers farmers aid; they still want tariffs gone
[]
China Daily > HomePage
The relief plan that the Trump administration announced Tuesday doesn't appear good enough for farmers.
The administration will offer a $12 billion emergency aid package for farmers hurt by other countries' retaliatory tariffs against US agricultural products.
In the past few months, US President Donald Trump has imposed punitive tariffs on several of the country's largest trading partners, including China, Canada, Mexico and European Union.
The spiraling trade conflict has reduced exports and lowered prices for American farmers, who already are seeing decreased annual net income.
Compared with short-term assistance, ASA said it wants "long-term answers to the pinch of tariffs - or seeing the tariffs rescinded".
