Two Louisiana Republican members of Congress have asked President Trump to levy stiff tariffs on imported rice to protect one of the state's most important crops.
U.S. Reps. Clay Higgins of Lafayette and Julia Letlow of Start, both who represent large rice-growing regions in their respective 3rd and 5th Congressional Districts, asked Trump to levy tariffs as high as 100% on rice imports from India, Thailand, China, Pakistan and Vietnam.
