Trump support

Roger Johnson, who leads the National Farmers Union, said the group supports the White House goal of reducing the US trade deficit.

“But our organisation grows increasingly concerned that this administration does not have a plan to ensure family farmers and ranchers aren’t thrown under the bus for the sake of these goals,” he said. Even so, few blame Trump directly. Hurst said many in Missouri are still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. “If we don’t see any success, then patience will wear thin.”
