Washington: US President Donald Trump on Monday announced a 12 billion US aid package for American farmers, moving to support a sector hit by tariffs and a trade dispute with China.

Trump unveiled the plan during a White House event attended by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, several lawmakers and members of the farming community. He said the money to fund the package would come from government revenue raised through US tariffs.

"This relief will provide much-needed certainty to farmers as they get this year's harvest to market and look ahead to next year's crops, and it'll help them continue their efforts to lower food prices for American families," he said while announcing the financial assistance.
