US President Donald Trump has announced an $8 billion relief programme for American farmers facing higher diesel costs, adding to a series of financial promises as Republicans prepare for the November midterm elections. Trump unveiled the proposed harvest fuel relief programme during a campaign speech in Kansas on Monday. The Department of Agriculture of the United States then stated that the money will be used for one-time payments to farmers for the 2026 harvesting period because of temporary disruptions in the market and increased production costs.
It is a time when the price of fuel and the cost of living affect American people. The popularity of Trump has fallen due to his poor management of the economic situation during the war between the US and Israel over Iran.
