Donnelle Eller reports for the Register:
On Monday, a White House spokesman said Trump would provide no exemptions for farmers, who sell billions of dollars in crops and livestock products annually to countries such as China, Mexico and Canada.
Trump's trade war during his first term hit U.S. farmers hard, forcing the USDA to render $23 billion in assistance to crop, livestock and fruit and vegetable growers. Any new tariff retaliation will be inflicted as farmers are reeling from a downturn caused by the combined effects of low prices and high costs and interest rates.
"My hope and prayer and goal is that we don't have to use those" support payments again, Rollins told reporters, because the "tariff renegotiations will be so positive on the front end for our farmers and our ranchers and our ag community."
