# Live: President Trump in Missouri | CNN Politics

> The Trump administration announced up to $12 billion in emergency aid for farmers hurt by retaliatory tariffs, using existing funding to offset an estimated $11 billion impact on US agricultural exports. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue described it as a short-term measure while long-term trade deals are negotiated.

## Why it matters

The aid cushions farm income but does not replace lost export sales to China and other retaliating markets, so US soybean and corn demand expectations remain pressured. The package is a meaningful signal that the trade dispute is expected to last.
