How Trump’s Tariffs Could Hurt U.S. Farmers?
Switching to a video article published by The New York Times, it addresses the potential negative impact of President Trump’s tariffs on U.S. farmers. In a nutshell, the article raises questions over whether the benefits of tariffs to American manufacturing will outweigh the losses experienced by the agricultural sector due to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. According to the video, farmers are particularly vulnerable to retaliation since agricultural products are often the first to be hit as they are usually less essential than manufactured products. The video features several expert opinions and interviews with farmers and economists, including David Salmonsen, senior economist at the American Farm Bureau Federation. Overall, the article suggests that an escalation of trade tensions and retaliation against U.S. farmers could have long-standing negative consequences for the broader economy, particularly for smaller agricultural businesses that could struggle to compete with larger, international corporations.
