Opinion: The subsidies to farmers may buy some political time to resume negotiations with China, but they also underscore the economic harm and political risk of President Trump’s trade showdown

The Trump Administration said Thursday it will give $16 billion to farmers to offset their lost income due to the trade brawl with China. The subsidies may buy some political time to resume negotiations, but they also underscore the economic harm and political risk of President Trump’s trade showdown.

No risk to Trump and his Team

China Tariffs pay farm subsidies! Varneyco marklevinshow MariaBartiromo realDonaldTrump cvpayne Varneyco LouDobbs TuckerCarlson

Huh The chart shows a 38% drop for Iowa BEFORE Trump became President. Pretty much flatline since 2017.

It’s also socialism.

What’s really funny is all these people talking about China stole this and China does that. Corporations made the decision to pump their stocks, leverage and buyout and continue to cut costs and merge. China didn’t do any of this alone. Thank....Wall Street.

You have to wonder if he knows what he’s doing. Kidding. He’s a moron.

No trades deal with China forever

Also part of that money is going to Chinese owned farms in America. So we're paying the Chinese to put tariffs on the Chinese. Math that one out.

That President Sanders is such a socialist! Wait a second...

How about supporting America's future? You people are so ungrateful....you deserve everything you get

“China should stop cheating! We need to do something! (Just make sure we are not affected in any way).”

Truly what does anyone at the WSJ know how to handle China in any shape or form. China got rich off the idiot politicians taking campaign contributions and giving in to China. Not anymore

China has not given America anything but we have in past bought from China and we are buying meds in certain stores ... our balance was FOR China not for America ... Trump is trying to help American Goods not other countries he is American President First

Then what? Surrender? Let the unfair trade go forever?

Mr. T. keeps telling us other countries will pay for things, but he keeps using American taxpayers' funds.

China has a time at her side + dictator that doesn’t have to worry elections & China 🇨🇳 knows that. What would Trump do, another bailout after another bailout until 2020 elections? SomethingHasToGive

And it was ALWAYS PREDICTABLE! Trump has NO IDEA!!!!!

swamp merchant traitors

I am asking the Jamaican government to buy more from these American farmers.that includes grain,corn,weat, and meat. When it comes to food,I trust no one but America.

Hey WSJ.....this is why we pay taxes, to help other AMERICANS when they need help. NOT SPENT ON ILLEGAL WETBACKS.

But How will we pay for it? Said no white suburbanite about.... Monsanto’s bailout

there is an upside. it is causing a lowering of oil prices.

Same damn thing as adjusted ebitda

Do you then have a better plan?

oh please do shut it.
