Donald Trump has announced that tariffs on agricultural products from other countries will take effect on April 2, encouraging American farmers to boost production. The tariffs will specifically focus on agricultural imports from Canada and Mexico, which have been major contributors to the overall agricultural imports in the United States, as reported by the USDA. This year, the U.S. agricultural trade deficit hit a record $49 billion with Mexico being a significant source of imports. In the fiscal year 2023, agricultural exports generated approximately $180 billion in revenue for U.S. farmers.
