(NAFB.com) – The Ranking Members of the Senate and House Agriculture Committees are pressing the Trump administration for answers on international food aid disruptions. Senator Amy Klobuchar and Representative Angie Craig, both Minnesota Democrats, asked for an explanation following a stop-work order that halted the delivery and distribution of hundreds of millions of metric tons of American-grown food aid, which could impact American farmers and U.S. agricultural markets. In a letter to Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins, they said, “We received reports of American-grown commodities sitting in storage without the ability to monitor whether this aid will get to the more than 75,000 children who would have otherwise received school meals.” They also said with Food for Progress, buyers in other countries have bought U.S. commodities but haven’t received them due to this pause. “It’s our understanding that this also encompasses hundreds of thousands of tons of U.S. wheat, rice, and soy,” they added.
