How Trump’s trade wars are affecting American farmers

Season 2018 Episode 445 | 5m 51s

The Trump administration's tariffs against China and Mexico have sparked retaliation by both countries on American agriculture. As a result, dairy producers have experienced a painful drop in demand, but many hope a promised $12 billion bailout will improve business in the long run. Lisa Desjardins speaks to Jim Mulhern, head of the National Milk Producers Federation, for his perspective.
