Whether it\u2019s illegal subsidies for corn or steel, China continues to manipulate prices to undercut American farmers and manufacturers.\u00a0That is why I support strong efforts, like today\u2019s enforcement action, that hold the Chinese accountable, so we can ensure that Indiana\u2019s farmers can compete on a level playing field.\u201d\r\nDonnelly has consistently advocated for the U.S. to be active against foreign governments that undermine American farmers and workers through illegal subsidies, including in the agricultural and steel sectors. He has also supported legislation to expand export opportunities for Hoosier farmers.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.donnelly.senate.gov/newsroom/press/donnelly-lauds-action-to-level-playing-field-for-hoosier-farmers"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0452819988131523, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
