Senator Schumer says sending funds to Argentina makes no sense as soybean farmers hurt from tariffs, health care costs soar

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York says in afternoon floor remarks on the 14th day of a government shutdown that it makes no sense to give money to Argentina and claim insufficient money exists to help Americans with health care, as farmers across America wonder whose side the administration supports after a devastating year where bungled trade talks with Beijing killed soybean exports while China looks to Argentina for new soybean deals, and the administration sends 20 billion taxpayer dollars to help foreign farmers compete against American farmers during a shutdown.
