House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson (PA-15) has issued a statement following remarks by President Donald J. Trump about plans to use revenue from tariffs to aid American farmers.
“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 said.
The comments come as agricultural producers face ongoing economic challenges, including those related to trade agreements and inflation.
