Trade War and Farmers Bailout.
President Trump threatened billions of dollars in more tariffs against nearly all imports from China and some close allies. China, Canada, the European Union, Mexico and other countries responded in kind with retaliatory tariffs against US products. Observers expect this trade war to cause price increases and a hit to the economy of consumers and business. And in a move in the middle of the midterms, Trump is giving 12 billion in aid for farmers affected by Trump’s trade policies. On other matter, on Mexico’s new administration, an economist anticipates a new perspective but no radical change in the renegotiation of NAFTA. A top leader of Mexican indigenous communities doesn’t expect a major change towards Mexico’s indigenous populations under the new administration. And a candidate for California US Senate seat discusses his plans to address extreme poverty, unemployment, water contamination and other chronic ills in California’s San Joaquin Valley.
