New York | US farmers reacted with fury to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, saying a trade war will threaten their markets, push up the cost of inputs such as fertiliser and “take a toll on rural America”.
Farmers expressed particular concern about the impact of retaliatory tariffs, saying they will restrict their access to some of the US’s most important export markets for staples including corn, soybeans, red meat and pork, and urged Trump to negotiate a swift end to the conflict.
