TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S $8 BILLION DIESEL AID FUEL FOR FARMERS WILL ARRIVE AFTER ELECTION, OFFICIAL SAYS

The ‌Trump administration's $8 billion in diesel aid for farmers will be disbursed after the November 3 election, an administration official said on Friday. President Donald Trump announced the aid at a rally in Kansas on Monday as part of ​a suite of costly and politically fraught actions to offer Americans relief from high ​fuel prices driven up by the war in Iran.

US Department of Agriculture official ⁠Richard Fordyce told Reuters the exact timing of payments is still to be determined."It’s ​going to be close to the end of the year, would be my guess," Fordyce ​said. "That is a little unclear at this point."
