Trump announced another relief aid while waiting for the stimulus bill to arrive on his table. He said during his Wisconsin rally on Thursday that an amount of $13 billion will be given to farmers who are heavily impacted by the global pandemic. 

Farmers in the country are mainly composed of immigrants or particularly Latinos and Hispanics. They played a very important role during the wake of the pandemic and when the federal government ordered a stay-at-home policy to avoid virus contagion. 

While most of the Americans are in their homes during the stay-at-home order of the government, Latino and Hispanic farmers are on the field and making sure that the food chain is enough. This is despite the health threat of the infectious and deadly COVID-19.

This is now the time to honor and support the farmers across the country. The federal government has been giving financial aid to farmers through the help of the Agriculture Department and Trump promised to give more as they continue to serve the country. 

"Starting next week my administration is committing an additional - you've been asking for this for a long time - $13 billion in relief to help farmers recover from the China virus, including Wisconsin's incredible dairy, cranberry and ginseng farmers, who got hurt badly," Trump said.

According to a published article in The New York Times, the details of the $13 billion aid for the farmers will be released on Friday. A person who has the knowledge of the relief aid said the details will include how the money will be distributed.

This is not the first time that the federal government and the Agriculture Department will release a financial aid to the farmers. It can be remembered that the agency released an amount of $19 billion aid in April to the farmers and ranch owners. 

The previous aid was intended for farmers who are heavily impacted by the global pandemic and those who experienced interruptions in the supply chain and decreased income because of the stay-at-home order and closures of businesses like restaurants and hotels which are their primary customers.

Trump's campaign in Wisconsin has focused on aid for farmers ahead of the November election as rural areas hold most of his supporters.

The President knew that several farmers experienced hardships during the pandemic and that is why he is making sure that they will have the support and financial aid they need. 

Trump has again proved that despite the rejection of the Democrats-dominated Congress for a new stimulus bill, he will make ways to provide financial support to millions of Americans.

Trump has always been asking Congress to act on the next stimulus package, but the House failed due to some disagreements. 

Meanwhile, the President noted that despite the failed negotiations and rejections of his administration's proposed stimulus bill, he will release executive actions for relief aid.
