Agriculture Secretary Assures Farmers Won't Bear Burden in Trade Dispute

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue says President Trump has assured him that farmers won't bear the burden in any trade dispute with China and says he has been communicating that message to them. He also applauds the president for getting the attention of the Chinese and welcomes Xi Jingping's recent speech urging negotiations to resolve the trade dispute. He says the Chinese haven't been playing fair and that the administration will work to mitigate against any negative fallout in the agriculture community. close
