President Trump says that his administration will be providing assistance to struggling U.S. farmers using tariff revenues.
“We’re going to take some of that tariff money that we’ve made and we’re going to give it to our farmers, who are, for a little while, going to be hurt until the tariffs kick in to their benefit. So, we’re going to make sure our farmers are in great shape because we’re taking in a lot of money,” said Trump.
Trump made those statements to the press in the Oval Office on Thursday while hosting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Although Trump didn’t provide any further details, he said his tariff strategy will benefit producers long-term.
“Ultimately, the farmers are going to be making a fortune,” said Trump.
