The White House plans to dole out billions of dollars in "temporary relief" to struggling farmers who have been hurt by President Donald Trump's tariffs and trade war, a senior administration official told NBC News.
An announcement on the aid — a little over three months before the midterm elections — could come later Tuesday, the official said. News of the aid package was first reported by The Washington Post, which said that $12 billion be paid out via at least three avenues: Direct assistance; a food purchase program; and a trade promotion program.
