Sec. Perdue acknowledges that American farmers are 'casualties' of President Trump's trade war with China
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 him win the election in 2016, 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."
