President Trump's new taxes on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China are causing big problems for American farmers! These taxes, called tariffs, make it more expensive to buy and sell things between countries. This is hurting farmers who already aren't making much money.
- Tariffs mean higher costs for farmers.
- Other countries are putting taxes on American products too.
- Farmers are worried about losing money and jobs.
