U.S. Farmers Brace for New Trump Trade Wars Amid Tariff Threats

The article discusses farmers' concerns about former President Trump's potential re-imposition of tariffs on imports if elected again. Trump has indicated he would increase tariffs significantly, potentially triggering another trade war similar to the one that began in 2018. Farmers are worried that such tariffs would harm their industry, which was already affected during the previous trade war, leading to significant shifts in trade patterns, particularly in soybean exports. Despite these concerns, Trump still maintains support among rural voters who consider a range of factors when voting.
