00:00Mr. Speaker, it's been 100 days of broken promises, cuts, and chaos from the Trump administration.
00:09And the damage has been done from my district in Cleveland to rural America.
00:13Here's how Trump has hurt the farm economy in just 100 days.
00:18President Trump has fired critical staff at USDA and gutted key programs that support rural communities.
00:24He's enacted tariff chaos, driving up the cost of fertilizer, fuel, and equipment.
00:30He's launched a trade war, again, putting farmers at risk of retaliatory tariffs that will dry up export markets.
00:38He's slashed over a billion dollars from food programs that put fresh produce in school cafeterias and keep food banks stocked.
00:47Meanwhile, Republicans are pushing to gut snap, a program that feeds 40 million Americans and delivers billions, billions in revenue back to the farm country.
00:57Working families in urban, suburban, and rural communities across America are footing the bill for Trump's chaos.
01:04The bottom line is that Trump's broken economy isn't working for anyone, and I yield back.
01:12For what purpose does the gentleman from Ohio seek recognition?
01:15Mr. Speaker.
