The Trump administration has unveiled a 12 billion-dollar plan to help American farmers hit by President Trump's widening trade war with other countries. <br /> Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said Tuesday the emergency aid package will help mitigate losses incurred by what he called "illegal tariffs" on American agriculture exports. <br />Several countries have imposed heavier duties on U.S. goods in retaliation to President Trump's series of tariffs. <br />These retaliatory tariffs have especially taken its toll on soybean growers. <br />The 12 billion-dollar bailout plan includes providing subsidies to farmers and buying unsold crop. <br /> However, the plan was denounced by some Republicans who said farmers want markets for their crops, not payoffs for lost sales and lower prices.<br />President Trump defended his tarrifs in a speech in Kansas City, saying they will force countries to renegotiate trade deals with the U.S. <br />
