American Farmers Feel Heat From Trade War With China

The video discusses the impact of China's decision to reduce US imports on American farmers and the subsequent aid provided by the US government. Farmers are receiving $28 billion in aid over two years, which is more than double the auto industry bailout. Additionally, $10.5 billion is allocated for crop insurance. Despite a projected 29% drop in net farm income and record farm debt, Trump's aid may cover over half of the trade war losses. A majority of farmers expect more aid next year, and support for Trump among farmers has increased from 60% to 67%.
