Simultaneously occurring, the White House has fast-tracked a $40 billion bailout for farmers in Argentina to help control beef prices, which has drawn criticism from Republican lawmakers and some Trump allies who view it as a betrayal of American farmers. USDA officials blame Democrats for blocking relief payments due to the government shutdown. The article highlights the tension between domestic agricultural support and international trade efforts under Trump&#8217;s administration, with concerns about rising food prices and farmers&#8217; financial struggles.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">US farmers caught in the middle of shutdown and Trump&rsquo;s Argentina bailout.

For example, just like with his farm aid proposal, Trump is using tariff revenue to keep the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) operational.<\/p>\n<p>But White House aides say that won&rsquo;t work with a farm bailout, as Department of Agriculture staffers were not able to fully develop plans before the government shut down on October 1.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Unlike, for instance, WIC or SNAP, this would have to be a new program that has to be conceptualized,&rdquo; one aide explained. &ldquo;The legal framework has to be pulled together, so conceptualized and then created and implemented, versus SNAP and WIC or military pay. Those systems are already in place. You&rsquo;re just plugging in cash to disperse, versus setting up a new system, and the people who would do that are all furloughed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the White House simply can&rsquo;t recall a small batch of federal employees to work on the new program. One White House official suggested that the effort would include &ldquo;multiple teams&rdquo; spanning multiple agencies, including at USDA and the Departments of Treasury and Commerce.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Obviously, we&rsquo;re going to get this out as soon as possible,&rdquo; that person said when asked when farmers could expect to start seeing relief. &ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s hard for us to even make a prediction without the people there who could give us those predictions, but this is a huge priority for us. We&rsquo;ll get it done as soon as we can.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Still, once the Trump administration resumes its work on the program, it will likely be months before farmers gain access to these funds, with consumer food prices set to rise in the interim.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Not only is market access a challenge with where we sell our goods, but we will start to see a spike in food prices,&rdquo; Oscar Gonzales, a top USDA official during the Obama and Biden administrations, told <em>Politico<\/em>. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re starting to reach that precarious zone of not allowing farmers the tools, the commitments that they need to plan &mdash; it&rsquo;s upon us already, to be honest. Farmers are going to need something.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Republican lawmakers have sounded the alarm in talks with the White House and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins this week, according to persons familiar with those conversations.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a growing number are actually publicly criticizing the administration for apparently prioritizing Argentine farmers over those in America. The criticism comes after Trump said the administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3857034\/trump-floats-buying-argentine-beef-lower-prices-sending-billions-milei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">would import beef<\/a> from Argentina to help tackle high costs. Rollins confirmed Tuesday that the Argentina plan <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/atrupar\/status\/1980654176381116656\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">was on the table<\/a>, but said the imports &ldquo;would not be very much.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If the goal is addressing beef prices at the grocery store, this isn&rsquo;t the way,&rdquo; Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenatorFischer\/status\/1980604168738935138\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote in a statement<\/a> on Tuesday. &ldquo;Nebraska&rsquo;s ranchers cannot afford to have the rug pulled out from under them when they&rsquo;re just getting ahead or simply breaking even. I strongly encourage the Trump administration to focus on trade deals that benefit our ag producers &mdash; not imports that will do more harm than good.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a normally staunch Trump ally, has called the president&rsquo;s actions on the topic &ldquo;a betrayal&rdquo; of Trump&rsquo;s political ethos.<\/p>\n<p>When Merriwether Farms <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MeriwetherFarms\/status\/1980296823286952257\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">criticized Trump&rsquo;s actions<\/a> as &ldquo;an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher,&rdquo; Greene <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepMTG\/status\/1980331856743788742\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replied<\/a>: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m hearing the same sentiment in my district.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>USDA officials additionally told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that &ldquo;the only thing delaying billions in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/these-17-states-are-exempting-stimulus-payments-from-taxes\/\" title=\"These 17 States Are Exempting Stimulus Payments From Taxes\">disaster relief payments<\/a> from reaching farmers are Democrats refusing to fund the government.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3857506\/white-house-east-wing-ballroom-construction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CONSTRUCTION CREWS DEMOLISH WALL OF WHITE HOUSE EAST WING FOR BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President Trump is the most pro-farmer President of our lifetime, and through his leadership, the administration is supporting farmers through unprecedented international market access, lowered taxes, and improvements to the farm safety net in the One Big Beautiful Bill,&rdquo; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/migration-crisis-has-deepened-despite-bidens-pledge-to-address-root-causes\/\" title=\"Migration Crisis Has Deepened Despite Biden\u2019s Pledge to Address \u201cRoot Causes\u201d\">department spokesperson wrote<\/a> in a statement. &ldquo;Currently, the farm economy is in a difficult situation, and President Trump is utilizing all the tools available to ensure farmers have what they need to continue their farming operations.
