Trump made the comments during a meeting at the White House where he unveiled $12 billion in fresh support for American farmers. He said imports were challenging domestic producers, having been informed of the falling rice prices by rice baron Meryl Kennedy, the founder and CEO of Kennedy Rice Mills and 4 Sisters Rice. Trump reiterated his intention to address the issue. Trump was given a list of countries that are “dumping rice” into the US, with India, Thailand and even China accused of the practice. “Tell me about India. Why is India allowed to do that?
