Senator Jerry Moran, In a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, urged the Trump administration to resolve the China trade dispute that's “hurting” Kansas' farmers and ranchers.
A Kansas Republican senator on Monday urged the Trump administration to resolve America’s trade dispute with China to provide “greater market certainty for farmers and ranchers” in the state.
“Kansas farmers’ and ranchers’ ability to earn a living depends on selling the food and fiber they group around the world,” the senator wrote. “Without exports, the question becomes: What 48 percent of wheat acres do we no longer plant in Kansas? The income generated by exports keeps Kansas producers in business and sustains our rural communities.”
Trade discussions between Beijing and Washington collapsed on May 10 as President Donald Trump slapped additional tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. As expected, China retaliated days later with tit-for-tat tariffs on roughly $60 billion of U.S. products. Although Perdue announced that about $20 billion would be given to farmers as assistance to alleviate financial tensions brought on by the trade dispute, Moran said in his letter that the solution wasn't “sustainable.”
