President Trump is taking steps to smooth things over with American farmers who are feeling the financial pinch from the Iran war’s impact on fuel and fertilizer costs.
The president has been actively working to maintain support among the agricultural community, whose profit margins have been squeezed by the price increases that followed the conflict with Iran.
In a notable gesture, Trump went so far as to host a group of farmers for dinner at the White House’s Rose Garden, signaling how seriously the administration is taking the concerns of those in the farming industry.
The spike in fuel and fertilizer prices tied to the Iran war has directly affected farmers’ bottom lines, fueling frustration within a community that has traditionally been a key part of Trump’s political base.
