Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) praised President Donald Trump's tariffs even as he admitted that farmers in his state had a "big harvest" with "no place to go."
"Well, look, I think that the farmers, and I represent a lot of them, and they want nothing more than open markets," Thune replied.
"So what the President has said is, I'm going to support and I'm going to help our farmers."
"We're looking at potential solutions to make sure that we can help support farmers until some of those markets come back."
"I think a lot of our farmers support that," the senator claimed.
