President Donald Trump reached an agreement Wednesday with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker aimed at averting a transatlantic trade war, easing tensions stoked by Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on car imports.
The two sides agreed to expand European imports of U.S. liquified natural gas and soybeans and lower industrial tariffs on both sides, Trump said. The U.S. and European Union will “hold off on other tariffs” while negotiations proceed, Juncker said.
“We had a big day, very big,” Trump said at a joint statement with Juncker at the White House Wednesday. He hailed “a new phase” of trade relations.
The two leaders also said they would work toward “zero” tariffs on industrial goods, according to Trump. He added that they would try to “resolve” steel and aluminum tariffs he imposed earlier this year and retaliatory duties the EU levied in response.
Btw the 12 billion doesnt even cover the farmer losses to date
Wait till Ttump announces another 20 billion taken from Food Stamp to our agrobusiness
safety net for poor, old, disabled people to be cut to pay the farmers, and of course the oligarchy's tax scam.Socialism and handouts good now

You mean the Harvest Boxes?Btw the 12 billion doesnt even cover the farmer losses to date

Trump Has No Idea What His Tariffs Have Unleashed for Farmers
His trade war will hurt business at a time when the rural population is aging, and it will probably hollow out farm communities.
Harvest puts coin into the hands of farmers, and they and their communities — indeed all of America — profit. Not this year.
For Iowans, it’s because 33 percent of our economy is tied, directly or indirectly, to agriculture,
and Mr. Trump recklessly opened trade wars that will hit “Trump country” — rural America — hardest and that have already brought an avalanche of losses. Indeed, the impact of his tariffs will probably be felt by family farms and the area for generations.
The cost of being shut out of overseas markets for soybeans, beef, pork, chicken and more will be in the billions.
Once those markets are gone, they will be difficult to recover.
Commodity prices continue to drop, and good weather suggests an excellent crop is in the making, which will drive prices further down.
But the fallout will not just be tallied in statistics. In farm country, U.S.A., the Trump tariffs have poured gas on what has been a slow-burning conflagration.
Rural America is about to undergo a major demographic shift. President Trump didn’t start it, but he has accelerated a crisis that might have taken a generation or two to play out. Now it might take only a few years.
Rural America is going to be hollowed out very quickly. Farms will become consolidated, and towns that are already in trouble will certainly die.
Iowa’s farmers are aging, and younger farmers aren’t replacing them proportionately.
Sixty percent of Iowa farmland is owned by people 65 years or older, and
35 percent of farmland is owned by people 75 or older.
2012 census shows the average age of the American farmer was 58.3 years. This isn’t because young people in rural America don’t want to farm; it’s because,
if it isn’t already the family business, the costs are much too high to allow many of them to get into it.
a hog operation I drive by every day is folding. The confinements are being dismantled, and anything portable can be found on Craigslist.
A friend close to the family told me pork prices have been down for years, and with the tariffs it’s just not worth it anymore.
Another casualty: our community banks.
When our community banks are gone, one of the major economic engines of our small towns will be gone.
( but what about a few Wells Fargo branches!
populations won’t be enough to support rural hospitals and clinics, and they, too, will be gone. Rural hospitals are one of the major employers in the community.
Some of the farmers I speak with are unwavering in support of the president;
they’d vote Republican even if Mr. Trump personally slapped the heck out of the preacher at the church potluck.
the Trump payments are made to farmers, the larger operations will be the ones that gobble them up.
Mr. Perdue, and likely President Trump, know the $12 billion won’t make a difference, even in the short term.
Farmers and others in the industry know the offer is meaningless.
