WASHINGTON, Dec 8 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that farming equipment has gotten too expensive and his administration would help tractor companies by removing some environmental rules that affect them.
“We’re going to also give the tractor companies, John Deere and all of the companies that make the equipment, we’re going to take off a lot of the environmental restrictions that they have on machinery. It’s ridiculous,” Trump said at a White House roundtable where he announced aid to farmers hit by his tariff policies.
