Rollins touts 'big announcement' as USDA readies to unfreeze $3B for farmers
The Trump administration is expected to release $3 billion in aid to help struggling farmers, money that has been frozen during the shutdown.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins discussed the upcoming development Tuesday on "The Hill" on NewsNation.
"We've got a big announcement coming tomorrow," she told host Blake Burman, who replied "Make it here."
"I would love to, but I may be at the White House doing it, but I've this first time I've said that, there is a really big announcement coming tomorrow, and what we're going to do to restore and revitalize our beef herd in America, which ultimately will bring the prices down," Rollins said.
White House officials have directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to use funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation to help farmers manage to break even amid the largest corn and soybean crops.
