- President Donald Trump tweeted recently that the nation would start procuring USD 3 billion worth of Dairy, Meat & Produce for Food Lines & Kitchens from domestic Farmers, Ranchers & Specialty Crop Growers.
- However, it yet remains unclear, whether the tweet referred to the relief plan of USD 19 billion announced by the agriculture department in April 2020 or it is another stimulus by the Trump administration to support local farmers.
