President Trump will welcome a group of American farmers from across the U.S. to the White House for a dinner Thursday evening in the Rose Garden.
The event comes as Trump has ramped up his efforts to court the voting bloc ahead of the midterm elections, after farmers experienced rising fertilizer costs sparked by the Iran war and pressure under the administration’s tariff agenda.
“There is no greater champion for American farmers, growers, and ranchers than President Trump, who has negotiated new, fair trade deals, lowered input costs, bolstered the farm safety net, eliminated the death tax, ended taxes on rural property loan interest, and created rural opportunity zones,” White House spokesperson Olivia Wales said in a statement.
“For 250 years, hardworking farmers have fueled our nation, and President Trump continues to take action to help America’s farmers thrive again,” she added.
The president’s remarks are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. EDT.
