So what the president has said is, I'm going to support and I'm going to help our farmers.
And so we are looking at, I'm a member of the Senate Ag Committee, have been for some time, and we're looking at potential solutions to make sure that we can help support farmers until some of those markets come back.
I think part of it is that the president's trying to achieve with his trade policy reciprocity with countries that have been taking advantage of us for a long time.
And I think most of us support that.
I think a lot of our farmers support that.
They are anxious.
They want to see markets opened up.
And so when I speak to the president and his team about this, I always reiterate the importance of keeping agriculture front and center when you're negotiating trade deals.
But at the end of the day, our farmers are probably going to need some financial assistance this year.
And a lot of the revenue coming in off the tariffs is what they would use to provide that.
I mean, I got to see what's going to be proposed.
I'm hoping that the Democrats actually have a proposal.
What they're talking about is a straight-up extension, which, as I said, costs $365 billion, has no reforms in it.
And this is a program that's desperately in need of reform.
You shouldn't hijack a bill that will keep the government open in order to do a lot of extraneous things.
And this is a program that costs $365 billion.
And so if we're going to have that conversation, we should.
But it ought to be in a place and time where we can work through some of these issues and look at some of the reforms that would come with that.
You shouldn't hijack a bill that will keep the government open in order to do a lot of extraneous things.
And this is a program that costs $365 billion.
