Trump's $12 billion farm subsidies are a solution to a political problem of his own making

(2018).
Trump's $12 billion farm subsidies are a solution to a political problem of his own making.
Last week, President Trump announced a 12 billion program of farm subsidies to assist farmers hurt by his escalating trade war with China, Canada, and other countries. Stephanie Rickard, author of a new book on government subsidies, Spending to Win, argues that this kind of financial assistance is almost always introduced to help domestic producers harmed by tariff reductions, not increases.
