POS trump White House delays damning farm report to protect the president: report White House delays damning farm report to protect the president: report Story by Adam Lynch • 11h • 2 min read Politico reports White House staff have blocked and scrubbed an important analysis because it revealed the truth about President Donald Trump’s one-man impact on farmers. The study, which typically accompanies a quarterly farm trade report, predicts an increase in the nation’s trade deficit in farming produce later this year, according to two people familiar with the matter. The politically inconvenient numbers obliterate Trump’s claim that his economic policies—including his crowd of tariffs—will reduce U.S. trade deficits, and this prompted officials to block its release. The May 2024 report from the Biden administration is a 24-page document that contains an “Export Products’ section, while the Trump administration’s May 2025 counterpart contains only 11 pages, and without the “Export Products” section. Farm groups, advocates and commodities traders rely on the Agriculture Department’s quarterly report to scrutinize imports and exports of major farm commodities like poultry and soybeans. But Politico says the piecemeal rollout stirs questions about White House attempts to manipulate rigid economic numbers.

However, it’s not clear when or if the Trump administration will release the written analysis portion of its own report. The silence comes months after Trump claimed “our farmers are going to have a field day right now” due to his international trade policies. Anonymous sources told Politico the May report accurately “reflects Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs” on most U.S. trading partners and the impact of nations’ retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. This may not be a surprise considering tariffs in Trump’s first term so thoroughly hurt American farmers the president had to add to the nation’s debt to implement farm bailouts for the loss of business.
