Washington White House trade adviser Peter Navarro defended President Donald Trump's commitment to American farmers on Sunday, as some farmers say the US trade war with China directly hurts them.
"This President has the backs of farmers," Navarro told CNN's Jake Tapper on"State of the Union." He said"a lot" of the money the US is taking in from tariffs is"going right to the farmers."American farmers are showing nervousness about the US-China trade war, including postponing buying tractors and other equipment.
