Donald Trump is facing growing calls, including from within his own party, to boost support for US farmers as his administration faces mounting anger over its treatment of the agricultural sector.
Republican senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa called on the US president to place an embargo on diesel exports this weekend and help farmers grapple with high prices.
Grassley, who is largely aligned with Trump, suggested the embargo in multiple social media posts, calling on the president to issue a 1970s-style embargo on diesel and agricultural products to help farmers.
