Wisconsin Farmers Still Waiting for Help

November 18, 2019 · 6:18 am ET · Leave a Comment

As the trade skirmishes Trump has triggered have hurt farmers directly, the president’s message has been simple: Trust me, it will all pay off.”

“They are still waiting. But the wave of new and steeper tariffs has yet to fray many farmers’ faith in a president who promised to even the playing field.”
