TRUMP READIES NEW ROUND OF AID TO FARMERS HIT BY CHINA TRADE WAR –

The Trump administration is preparing to announce another round of trade aid for those affected by retaliatory tariffs as soon as Thursday. The aid plan could exceed $15 billion and is largely modeled on the program put in place last year, though the payments will be more generous. Payments of about $2 per bushel to soybean growers, 63 cents per bushel to wheat growers and 4 cents per bushel to corn growers are being considered. (Bloomberg)
