Farmer who voted for Trump says he’ll 'never vote for him again' as family set to lose $150,000 in China trade war
Larry Angler, a farmer in Iowa, voted for President Donald Trump in 2016. Now, he says he does not plan to vote for him again because of massive economic losses he expects to incur due to the escalating trade war with China.
Other Iowan farmers interviewed by CNN also expressed frustration with the president, as well as skepticism about his ability to improve trade ties with China. Robert Ewoldt told CNN he has been able to keep his farm afloat only by working a second job as a truck driver. “This is survival at this point. I mean, for a lot of operations it is a survival thing,” he said. Ewoldt added that he voted for Trump and now has regrets.
The U.S. agriculture sector has been especially hard-hit by the trade war because China was purchasing large quantities of soybeans and other products from American farmers. In an effort to curb the tariffs’ impact, the Trump administration rolled out a $12 billion subsidy program to bail out farmers last year. Trump has suggested that he would do this again as trade tensions continue.
