US Helps Farmers, Adds Tax on Mexico

The US government made two big choices. First, it will give money to American farmers. Second, it will add a new tax on things from Mexico.

The money for farmers is $12 billion. This will help farmers who grow corn and soybeans. The government says this money comes from taxes on other imports. Farmers have hard times because prices are low. The government wants to help them with their crops.

Also, the US will add a 5% tax on goods from Mexico. The US says Mexico did not share enough water. This hurt farmers in Texas. President Trump said Mexico must share water soon.

The money helps farmers now. The new tax on Mexico makes things uncertain. The future is not clear for farmers.
