Trump provides $100 million in emergency aid to U.S. farmers

According to “Voice of America” ​​news on July 25, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said that the U.S. Department of Agriculture will provide $12 billion in support to U.S. farmers and ranchers affected by tariffs. These projects will include direct payments to farmers, trade promotion measures and food purchases. These projects are authorized under the Commodities Trading Companies Charter Act and do not require specific congressional approval. Perdue said the projects are short-term solutions to give Trump time to negotiate a trade deal. (Title: Trump provides $12 billion in emergency aid to American farmers)
