Trump Says Tariff Revenue Will Fund Relief for US Farmers

President Donald Trump said his administration will use funds collected from tariffs to assist beleaguered US farmers, previewing an impending bailout for an agriculture sector hit hard by his trade policies.

“We’re going to take some of that tariff money that we’ve made, we’re going to give it to our farmers, who are — for a little while — going to be hurt until it kicks in, the tariffs kick in to their benefit,” Trump said Thursday at the White House.
