Fact Check: "President Donald Trump acknowledged that his immigration policy was hurting farmers and vowed that 'change was coming' in a Truth Social post on June 11, 2025."
What We Know
On June 11, 2025, former President Donald Trump made a post on Truth Social where he acknowledged that his immigration policy was negatively impacting farmers. He stated that "change was coming" in relation to this issue (Politico, Yahoo News). This acknowledgment aligns with ongoing discussions about the effects of immigration policies on the agricultural sector, particularly regarding labor shortages that have been exacerbated by strict immigration enforcement (Barron's).
Analysis
The claim that Trump acknowledged the adverse effects of his immigration policy on farmers is supported by multiple sources. Politico reported that Trump made a vague post on Truth Social, explicitly stating that his immigration policy was hurting farmers and that "change was coming" (Politico). This was echoed by Yahoo News, which provided a similar account of the post (Yahoo News).
However, the context of Trump's statement is crucial. His acknowledgment comes amid significant criticism of his administration's immigration policies, particularly the enforcement actions that have led to labor shortages in agriculture (Barron's). The sources reporting on this claim are generally reliable, with Politico and Barron's being established news organizations known for political reporting. However, the vague nature of Trump's post leaves room for interpretation, and the lack of specific details on what "change" entails raises questions about the sincerity and feasibility of his commitment.
Conclusion
Needs Research. While there is evidence that Trump made a statement acknowledging the negative impact of his immigration policy on farmers and promised change, the specifics of what that change entails are unclear. Further investigation into the context of his statement and the subsequent actions taken (if any) would provide a clearer understanding of the implications of his claim.
