'The Trump administration announced a $16 billion aid package for U.S. farmers on Thursday in an attempt to offset retaliatory Chinese tariffs.
Details: The USDA said on Thursday the $16 billion package will come in three separate installments. The first payment is scheduled to come out in July or August, and the second payment will be made in late fall. A third payment will be made in early 2020.
Context: The administration has already made $8.52 billion in direct payments to farmers to offset effects of the U.S.-China trade war. The planned amount of aid has been criticized by some farm-state politicians, like Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), as too low for their current economic stress as a result of the trade conflict.'
- "We hope to have a trade agreement before the second and third payments are made... that will depend on whether there is still damage to our producers," a USDA spokesperson said on Thursday.
Trump administration to give $16 billion in aid to farmers to offset U.S.-China trade war
So, U.S. taxpayers have to bailout farmers (whom largely voted for Trump, btw) thanks to Trump's trade war.
Trump buying votes?
Obviously.
And Americans get the bill for it.
It's called SOCIALISM.
