House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (PA-15) released the following statement after President Donald J. Trump announced an economic assistance package for American producers:
"I commend President Trump for standing by our hardworking producers who continue to struggle with distorted global markets and record-high production costs-legacies of the Biden Administration. The critical assistance announced today will help farmers obtain financing for 2026 and serve as a bridge to the long-term improvements to the farm safety net, which were included in the One Big Beautiful Bill. I look forward to working with President Trump and Secretary Rollins on assessing any additional needs in farm country and continuing to support America's farmers and ranchers as the Administration works to bring down costs, secure new trade deals, and ensure China lives up to its commitments."
