Trump to announce $12 billion farm aid program

President Donald Trump is expected to announce a $12 billion farm aid program on Monday.

The plan to provide aid to the nation’s farming industry comes as many have endured financial hardship due to low crop prices, the fallout associated with tariff policies, and other economic challenges, a White House official told Bloomberg News. Trump plans to announce the Farmer Bridge Assistance program on Monday afternoon at an event that will reportedly be attended by farmers, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.
