House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson responded to recent remarks by former President Donald J. Trump regarding farm relief. Trump stated he would use funds generated from tariffs to support American producers.
In his statement, Thompson said, "Years of Biden’s broken promises, from failing to enforce the Phase 1 agreement to letting inflation run wild while foreign governments use our farmers as pawns, have devastated American agriculture. President Trump is right to support them and step in to provide a bridge to the enhanced farm safety net policies in H.R. 1, which will kick in next year. I’m committed to working with the Trump Administration to support farmers and rural America during critical economic times."
Thompson emphasized his commitment to collaborating with the Trump Administration as new agricultural policies are set to take effect next year.
