Republican House leaders say Democrats have failed to include trade relief funding for farmers in its short term spending bill. Senate Majority leader McConnell tweeted it’s no time to “add insult to injury and defund help for farmers and rural America.”
House Democrats’ short term spending bill would avert a government shutdown at the end of the month and keep federal agencies funded through December 11th.
Ranking Member of the Senate Ag Committee Debbie Stabenow says there needs to be more transparency in how CCC funds are used.
