Press Releases

Today, during the White House Great American Agriculture Celebration, President Donald J. Trump outlined a range of administrative actions to bolster America’s farm economy, announced a forthcoming emergency request for additional producer assistance, and called upon Congress to swiftly enact a new farm bill. House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (PA-15) issued the following statement:

“The President’s commitment to America’s farmers and the rural economy is unmatched. He has never wavered in his efforts to level the playing field across global markets. After four years of inaction by the previous Administration, President Trump has been dedicated to building a trade policy framework that will provide long sought after certainty for our farmers, ranchers, and producers.

“Bringing farmers and ranchers from across the country to Washington shows that this Administration cares more than any other about the health of the rural economy. Recognizing the importance of providing short-term stability through assistance, combined with the certainty of a long-term farm bill, will help make agriculture great again. I look forward to working with President Trump and my colleagues in the House and Senate to deliver results for American agriculture.”
