Fallout from President’s Tuesday appearance in Kansas City:
Today, we were disappointed to hear some of our members boo the press during President Trump’s remarks. We rely on the media to spread the VFW message, and @CNN, @NBCNews, @ABC, @FoxNews, @CBSNews, & others on site today, were our invited guests. We were happy to have them there.

The United States Department of Agriculture announced that it would authorize $12 billion to counteract tariffs’ harm on farmers.
Sen. Jerry Moran:
A month ago lawmakers told the president “our farmers want markets, and not really a payment from government. And he said, ‘I’m surprised, I’ve never heard of anybody who didn’t want a payment from government.’”
Sen. Pat Roberts, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry:
“Trade remains the single best solution to the tough economy in farm country. I will look closely at the President’s assistance proposal, but I hope that the Administration is also working to quickly resolve the tariff situation and restore the export markets our farmers, ranchers, and growers rely on.”
