GOP Sen. Jerry Moran (Kan.) called Monday for the resolution of the U.S. and China’s trade dispute in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, highlighting damages to farmers.
“The tariffs our country levied against China, and China’s retaliatory tariffs targeted at our farmers and ranchers, threaten to cause long term damage to U.S. agriculture,” Moran wrote.
“Kansas farmers and ranchers understand the need to hold China accountable for bad behavior on trade. Yet, net farm income has fallen by 50 percent since 2013 and the trade war has pushed commodity prices down even further. Many farmers and ranchers are on the verge of financial collapse.”
