Creates a fund to help farmers hurt by trade issues like tariffs or lost exports.
This bill would create a special fund to help American farmers who lose money because of international trade problems. The President could put money from certain import taxes into this fund. The Secretary of Agriculture would then use this money to give direct payments to farmers. These payments would help those affected by things like reduced exports or higher costs due to trade.
Today, there is no specific fund dedicated to using certain tariff revenues to directly help agricultural producers affected by trade disruptions. This bill would create the TRADE Fund, allowing the President to deposit specific tariff revenues into it, and direct the Secretary of Agriculture to use these funds to make payments to farmers hurt by trade-related market disruptions.
