U.S. farmers are growing increasingly worried as the impact of new tariffs looms over them. President Donald Trump’s recent congressional address highlighted his radical agenda, which includes initiating a new trade war.
While Trump enjoys full support from Republican lawmakers, many of their constituents in rural areas are anxious about how these tariffs could affect their livelihoods. Farmers, in particular, fear that retaliatory measures from other countries could hurt their exports and income.
“We’re just trying to make ends meet,” said a farmer from Iowa. “Any disruption in trade could be devastating for us.”
The new trade policies aim to protect certain industries but may have unintended consequences for agriculture—a sector heavily reliant on international markets. As trade tensions escalate, uncertainty is causing concern among those who provide food not just for the United States but for the world.
This situation highlights the complex ripple effects of trade decisions, especially on communities far from the political arenas where these policies are made.
