Sasse Statement on Trade War Bailouts
July 24, 2018
U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, an outspoken advocate for trade and American agriculture, issued the following statement regarding the White House's plan to spend $12 billion on trade-war bailouts.
“This trade war is cutting the legs out from under farmers and White House’s ‘plan’ is to spend $12 billion on gold crutches. America’s farmers don’t want to be paid to lose – they want to win by feeding the world. This administration’s tariffs and bailouts aren’t going to make America great again, they’re just going to make it 1929 again.”
