Scoop: Farm state Senate Republicans are pushing the WH to add $17.2 billion in farm aid to any Iran war package — with farmers still reeling from Trump’s tariffs + higher costs from the war Talks are ongoing as admin ramps up pressure for war and military funding. Senators want to raise this with Trump tomorrow during their lunch. WH officials privately believe number would be closer to $10 billion - if it’s attached at all. And, Senate GOP appropriators still want wildfire money attached too. All huge pitfalls for the WH and Trump to navigate. w/ @YarrowGrace subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026/0…
