Trump Considers $10B Bailout for Farmers Amid Trade Disputes
The U.S. government is thinking about giving at least $10 billion to farmers to help them out.
Many farmers are struggling because of trade issues, especially with China.
They are losing money.
Donald Trump is planning to meet with China's leader to try and fix the problem.
The government might use money from tariffs (taxes on imported goods) to pay for the aid.
Some farmers are happy about it, but some want to find new places to sell their goods instead.
Trump is considering a $10 billion+ aid package for farmers.
The aid may be funded by tariff revenue.
The agricultural sector is facing economic strain.
Soybean exports to China have sharply decreased.
Trump will discuss soybean purchases with Xi Jinping.
