Many farmers across the Midwest voted for Donald J. Trump in the 2016 election but hoped he would never follow through on his threats to impose tariffs on China. They feared that they would suffer if China imposed its own tariffs as payback.

Guest: Eldon Gould, a farmer in Illinois who voted for President Trump. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.
