Trump estimated that, considering the automobile plant and AI investments that the U.S. is taking in, in part because of his tariff strategy, the real number the U.S. is taking in from tariffs is in the trillions.
“This relief will provide much-needed certainty to farmers as they get this year’s harvest to market and look ahead to next year’s crops, and it’ll help them continue their efforts to lower food prices for American families,” the president continued.
Rollins said that “an $11 billion bridge payment” will be going to America’s farmers.
