(NAFB) Now that Donald Trump is returning to the White House to serve as President and Republicans are set to control the U.S. Senate in January, one ag leader says Trump’s ag policies will greatly benefit farmers and rural Americans.
That’s Kip Tom, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture during President Trump’s previous term. He is also an Indiana farmer and was co-chair of the “Farmers and Ranchers for Trump 47” Committee.” Tom says that Trump will look at taking President Biden’s current ag policies in a completely different direction.
Even though many farmers and ag professionals have expressed their concerns about the impact of tariffs and ag trade with Trump back in office, Tom says that Trump won’t push for tariffs or trade deals unless they benefit America’s farmers.
Tom adds that Trump would not have been reelected if it wasn’t for the support he received from rural Americans…tape
Trump will be sworn in on Monday, Jan. 20th.
