U.S. agriculture secretary says U.S. farmers are 'casualties' of trade war: CNN
WASHINGTON - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue acknowledged that American farmers are"casualties" of President Donald Trump's trade war with China, according to an interview broadcast on Tuesday.
The Trump administration has designated aid for farmers, a key constituency that helped carry the Republican to his 2016 electoral win, but they still have been among the hardest hit from the trade dispute with China. "I've told the president - and the president understands - you can't pay the bills with patriotism," Perdue told CNN."We know that and certainly he knows that. That's why he's trying to supplement the damage they're having from trade disruptions with market facilitation."
