U.S. farmers slam Biden administration for providing tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine but no money to help struggling farmers

John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, told Fox News that farmers are being oppressed under President Biden’s policies, criticizing the Biden administration for providing tens of billions of dollars to foreign countries while domestic farmers’ farms are being foreclosed on Return the right.
“Frankly, we are facing extinction today.” Boyd Jr., a fourth-generation farmer from Mecklenburg County, Virginia, said in an interview about the state of agriculture four years into Biden’s presidency.
“Every time I watch the news, there’s another promise to help a foreign country. We may have helped Ukraine, maybe $100 billion or so, but we can’t provide debt relief for American citizens in this country.”
Boyd told Fox that President Biden promised him a meeting at the White House to discuss issues affecting farmers, but that meeting has not yet taken place. Additionally, Boyd said Biden told him he supported debt relief for Black farmers, but “they ended up repealing it.”
“We have provided billions of dollars in aid to Israel and other parts of the world, and at one point we even provided financial assistance to Ukrainian farmers,” Boyd said. “But when I say officials should fulfill their obligations to provide debt relief to American farmers, Everyone frowned when promised, and stopped farm foreclosures.”
Boyd’s interview comes as Biden pushes for a House vote on a $95 billion national security supplement to help Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific, which recently passed in the Senate by a 70-29 vote. The vote passed.
The United States has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Ukrainian farmers in recent years. “It is in the collective interest of the United States to ensure that Ukrainian farmers continue to operate,” U.S. aid chief Samantha Power said last year.
