“One in five jobs in Iowa is tied directly to trade,” Senator Joni Ernst said. “Most of that is around the farming sector, our agricultural sector. So it is very tense times.”

Republican Senator Joni Ernst pointed out on Sunday that President Donald Trump referring to American farmers as “patriots” doesn’t address the economic pain that the escalating trade war with China has caused to the agricultural sector.

“The president has called our farmers ‘patriots,’” Ernst said later in the segment, “it doesn’t pay the bills, it doesn’t pay the bills,” she asserted. “But we will see in the upcoming months how long we can sustain.” “You could say with our farmers, they’re patriots, they stood up. We will ensure that our farmers get the relief that they need, and very, very quickly,” the president added with the plans announcement.
