President Donald Trump’s plan to use tariff revenue to bail out farmers could be stalled by the ongoing government shutdown.
Trump said last month the administration would roll out subsidies for struggling farmers using revenue from his sweeping tariff policies. The White House will imminently announce a bailout plan that could put up to $15 billion in farmers’ pockets, Reuters reported, citing anonymous sources. Trump has said the aid would come from tariff revenues, but experts say that’s far easier said than done.
