-Lagos, Nigeria.

In a recent statement, agriculture expert and global food security advocate Paschal Nnaemeka has endorsed former President Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Nnaemeka, known for his work in sustainable farming and his commitment to bolstering food security across communities, praised Trump’s past efforts to support American farmers, rural development, and food supply resilience.

Nnaemeka pointed to Trump’s impactful agricultural policies during his first term as reasons for his support. Under Trump, billions were invested through USDA programs to stabilize farm incomes and provide emergency relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump also reduced regulatory burdens on farmers, like revising the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, which Nnaemeka noted allowed farmers to operate more efficiently and productively.

According to Nnaemeka, Trump’s approach to agricultural labor, biofuels, and trade policies stands out as particularly beneficial. “Trump’s leadership opened reliable markets for corn through biofuel commitments, ensured a fairer approach to farm labor with the H-2A guest worker program, and strengthened trade deals to protect American farmers,” Nnaemeka said. “His administration’s initiatives have directly contributed to the resilience of our food systems.”

Nnaemeka contrasted Trump’s policies with those proposed by Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate. He warned that Harris’ agenda could impose added regulations and costs that may impact the productivity of family farms and rural communities.

“A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for a leader who understands the challenges farmers face and has a proven track record of delivering tangible results for agriculture and food security,” Nnaemeka stated. As a respected voice in agriculture, Nnaemeka’s endorsement shows Trump’s appeal among those who prioritize food stability and rural economic growth.

Trump’s campaign is expected to have endorsements like Nnaemeka’s as it seeks to rally support from rural and farming communities, critical voters in swing states, who look for a candidate committed to ensuring a robust future for American agriculture.
