(NAFB) President Trump pushed back against criticism of his tariff policies during an Iowa stump speech to many of his farm supporters. Campaigning to hold onto the House and Senate in the midterms, Trump told Iowa farmers his tariffs have won exports, including for corn ethanol.
Other countries, including Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia will eliminate duties on US ag, and Australia will allow in US beef for the first time in 20-years. Trump says others, like the UK, will also import US ethanol.
The EU will sharply boost buys of US pork, dairy and soybean oil.Trump claims that despite initial farm losses to tariffs, the result is positive.
Trump added that China will buy 40 (B) billion dollars or more of beans. Treasury Secretary Bessent’s earlier volumes would yield sales of a bit more than 34 (B) billion over the next three years.
