Amid trade fight, Trump says he'll 'make it up' to farmers

President Donald Trump acknowledged today that farmers could be adversely affected by the escalating tariff dispute with China, but promised to make it up to them, saying they "will be better off than they ever were."
"They understand that they're doing this for the country. We'll make it up to them. In the end they're going to be much stronger than they are right now."
As the economic saber-rattling shakes global markets, Trump said Monday he had a good relationship with China and with President Xi Jinping, but repeated his claim that China has been "taking advantage of the United States for many years."
