华盛顿，3月27日（路透社） – 总统唐纳德·特朗普周五宣布了新措施，以支持因政府贸易政策和伊朗战争而遭受打击的美国农民，并建议农业机械制造商降低价格——这一呼吁导致这些公司的股价下跌。
“我希望约翰迪尔、凯斯以及所有——它们都是伟大的公司，还有卡特彼勒……我希望这些公司能以更低的拖拉机和设备成本的形式来满足你们，”特朗普在白宫南草坪一场细雨中举行的活动上对数百名农民和牧场主说道。

声明发表后，迪尔公司（Deere & Co）股价下跌2%。凯斯纽荷兰工业公司（CNH Industrial NV，旗下拥有凯斯IH品牌）股价下跌1%，卡特彼勒公司（Caterpillar Inc）尾盘交易中下跌近1.2%。
截至发稿时，这三家公司未立即回应置评请求。
特朗普在演讲中附带提出了降价呼吁，而演讲的其他部分则侧重于巩固这位共和党总统在农村选民这一忠实支持者群体中的支持率——农村选民在过去三次总统选举中均支持特朗普。
连续第四年，美国农作物生产商面临利润率紧张、生产成本高昂和大宗商品价格低迷的困境——尽管政府提供了创纪录水平的补贴，但他们在财务上面临挣扎。
特朗普政府正向美国农民分发120亿美元援助资金——农业贸易组织和农业经济学家表示，这一举措在短期内有所帮助，但不足以弥补近年来累计超过300亿美元的财务损失。
周五，特朗普表示，他将寻求国会为农民提供更多此类援助。超过50个农业利益集团，如美国农场局联合会（American Farm Bureau Federation），正敦促国会在军事拨款法案中批准额外援助。
此次活动期间，政府正敲定美国炼油厂的新生物燃料掺混强制规定，要求炼油厂将更多由玉米和其他农产品制成的燃料混入该国汽油和柴油中，这一比例超出了最初提议的水平，显然是为了农民的利益。
特朗普还宣布，美国小企业管理局（U.S. Small Business Administration）将为农民和食品供应商提供新的贷款担保。
随着美国与以色列对伊朗的战争扰乱全球贸易，导致化肥和柴油成本飙升，农民正进入关键的春季播种季节，笼罩在不确定性的阴影下。
特朗普政府与全球最大大豆进口国中国持续的贸易战也让美国长期的中美贸易关系前景不明朗。
农村选民占美国选民的五分之一，在2024年总统选举中，他们对特朗普的支持率比民主党候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯高出两倍。

WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump announced new measures on Friday to support U.S. farmers who are reeling from the administration’s trade policies and the Iran war and suggested farm equipment makers cut prices – a call that sent their shares lower.
“I want John Deere and Case and all of – they’re great companies, Caterpillar… I want these companies to give it to you in the form of lower tractor and equipment costs,” Trump told hundreds of farmers and ranchers gathered under drizzle at an event on the South Lawn of the White House.

Deere & Co shares dropped 2% after the statement. Case IH manufacturer CNH Industrial NV fell 1% while Caterpillar Inc was down nearly 1.2% in late-session trading.
The three companies could not immediately be reached for comment.
Trump called for lower prices in an aside during a speech that otherwise focused on shoring up support among the Republican president’s loyal constituency of rural voters, who have backed Trump in all three of the last presidential races.
For the fourth straight year, U.S. crop producers are facing tight margins, high production costs and low commodity prices – and are struggling financially – despite near-record government payments.
The Trump administration is distributing $12 billion in aid to U.S. farmers – a move that farm trade groups and agricultural economists have said is helpful in the short-term but will not fully compensate farmers for financial losses that have topped $30 billion in recent years.
On Friday, Trump said he would seek even more such aid for farmers from Congress. More than 50 farm-interest groups, such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, are urging Congress to approve additional aid in a military funding package.
The event happened as the administration finalized new biofuel blending mandates for U.S. oil refiners, requiring them to mix more of the fuels made from corn and other agricultural products into the nation’s gasoline and diesel than initially proposed, in an apparent win for farmers.
Trump also said the U.S. Small Business Administration would open up new loan guarantees for farmers and food suppliers.
Farmers are entering the critical spring planting season under a cloud of uncertainty as the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran disrupts global trade, causing fertilizer and diesel costs to spike.
The long-term U.S. trade relationship with China also remains unclear amid the ongoing trade war launched by Trump’s administration with the country, the world’s top soy importer.
Rural voters constitute a fifth of the U.S. electorate, and they favored Trump by a two-to-one margin over Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
