United States (US) President Donald Trump commented on the Farm Bill's progress in Congress and said the legislation would be passed.

Trump said he was proud to have been the president who enacted the previous Farm Bill in December 2018, adding that this time he expects to complete the process for a second time with a more definitive and improved legislative text.

Trump said the Farm Bill was approved in yesterday's vote, with 12 Republican senators voting “yes” and 11 Democratic senators voting “no,” adding that the second-stage vote would take place soon.

Stating that he was confident Republicans would take the necessary steps for farmers and ranchers, Trump said: “The bill will be passed!” Drawing attention to the provisions included in the legislation, Trump said it was a great honor for him to take part in enacting the bill together with the Republican majority.

Trump also said financial support would be provided to farmers, ranchers and rural communities, arguing that these groups had faced difficulties during Joe Biden's tenure.
