Key GOP senators rip Trump's farm bailout: 'America’s farmers don’t want to be paid to lose
Republican senators condemned the Trump administration's recently announced plans to bail out U.S. farmers hit by crippling tariffs on their goods.
“This trade war is cutting the legs out from under farmers and White House’s ‘plan’ is to spend $12 billion on gold crutches," said Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker called on the Trump administration to "reverse course and end this incoherent" tariff policy in a statement, and described the aid proposal as "offering welfare to farmers to solve a problem they themselves created."
