Those, the farmers love. Me President Trump criticizing China today for targeting the mid west with retaliatory tariffs and during a roundtable discussion in Iowa he tried easing fears of farmers suffering after the president impose tariffs on some foreign imports but. We just opened up Europe few farmers you're not going to be too angry with Trump. I can tell you but there was no deal reached with the European Union just an. Agreement to start negotiating and temporarily halt the trade war ABC's Andy Field joins us on the KOMO Newsline with the latest on this. And that might make Wall Street happy Andy but how did that play. With the farmers So far not great Neal he says you're. Not going to be, with Trump but a lot of them are in fact. Many of them are Republicans from harm states who are telling the president you're killing our farmers here with business this this whole European Union agreement which is basically a handshake saying we're going. To try to buy more soybeans from you There, is no such thing as a European Union buying anything They might set. Prices for, individual countries to buy stuff but, countries like, France for example this goes against their trade policies trade policy his we buy our. Own farm products are not buying them, from the United States so a lot of this has promised but. It's really hard to see how the president's, going to deliver, and then on the flip side of, that we have China which is imposed these sanctions on soybeans poor products on even Bourbon from Kentucky to hit it Mitch McConnell's, home state all of this is targeted at red states that President Trump won. Because, the Chinese are saying we're gonna hit you where it hurts Mr President when when it comes to election day right so you bring up the point.

Think very. Intriguing when you look at new poll numbers from some of these states. Now I think there are thirty three out of ninety, nine counties in Iowa. That twice, voted for Barack Obama and last, time out, voted for Donald Trump it would be very easy for them to go back for. These midterms who advise the president on, his policy from the political standpoint before he engaged in do we. Know that is a very good question I, don't I don't, know the answer that it doesn't seem, that the president really Listens too much advice at all when it comes to doing these things because. Very often he'll make a decision or he'll tweet these things out in the White House his staff kind of scrambles to provide a justification for it when, it usually is supposed to be the other way. Around but. Something had to happen because last week the European Commission was a foe Well again that's wide bar heads are spinning I mean a. Lot of reporters are wearing neck braces with all the whiplash we get from the policy changes one minute it's they're our. Enemy and today would there are BFF's the president even joked about it today In, a, speech to steelmakers. Where do the.
