Netanyahu says discussed 'eliminating Iranian regime' with Trump
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he discussed the need to eliminate Iran’s regime with former US President Donald Trump in a recent call.
President Donald Trump announced an $8 billion taxpayer-funded aid package for farmers struggling with high diesel prices during a rally for at-risk GOP Senator Roger Marshall in Kansas. This move comes as White House officials scramble to address farmer anger due to issues such as high fuel costs, imported foreign beef, and the Iran war.
Farmers will not know the exact amount they will receive until several weeks later, and payments wouldn't start until late November or early December at the earliest. While some top Republicans believe this aid will help them retain their seats in the November elections, especially in farm states like Kansas, Iowa, and Michigan, where Marshall, Iowa's Ashley Hinson, and Michigan's Mike Rogers are facing tough elections.
The administration plans to tap a USDA account to make the payments, but it lacks sufficient funds, necessitating further congressional approval or funding from another program.
