QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should the Trump administration extend tariff aid beyond agriculture?

President Donald Trump this week unveiled a $12 billion economic aid package for farmers affected by rising costs and trade wars fueled at least in part by tariffs.

Trump said when introducing the package in a news conference surrounded by farmers that those tariffs created the money for the economic package, which will largely benefit row crop farmers. But not everyone agrees, as some farmers have been vocal about how losing business to China amid the trade war has hurt producers.

Ideas have also been floated about using money generated from tariffs to provide economic relief to more Americans.

What do you think of them?
