Trump budget calls cut to crop subsidy program
The Washington Post reports President Trump proposes a 15 percent cut to the USDA budget for 2020, reducing crop insurance subsidies from 62 to 48 percent and limiting aid for farmers earning under 500,000 dollars. The plan aims at domestic discretionary cuts alongside higher defense and border spending, drawing criticism from farm groups and lawmakers. The proposal faces strong bipartisan skepticism in Congress.
