The trade war between the US and China is helping to keep food banks across the nation filled to capacity. The US government is purchasing the crops China isn't buying and donating it to feed the hungry and food insecure.
The buyout is part of the Trump administration's multi-billion dollar bailout plan for growers and producers, as their crops have been slapped with Chinese tariffs. "I'm glad to see that the food is not being wasted. The food is being distributed throughout our national network of food banks and it's going to take care of hunger, it'll be relief for these hungry kids," said Harry Keswani of Harry K. Foundation that supports 44 food pantries across Delaware.
As reported by http://www.wboc.com, US president Trump has said the US is getting closer to a trade deal with China, but no timetable has been set.
