President Trump is expected to discuss the Farm Bill with House Ag Chairman Mike Conaway and Senate Ag Chairman Pat Roberts today at the White House.
There have been reports that Trump will only support the Farm Bill if work requirements to qualify for SNAP benefits are tightened. But, Marc Short, director of legislative affairs at the White House, told The Wall Street Journal that it’s too early for a veto threat.
The meeting comes as Conaway is trying to get enough votes to pass the Farm Bill on the House floor next week.
