Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley raised questions about Smithfield Foods receiving USDA aid meant to help farmers hurt by China’s trade tariffs.

A Smithfield spokeswoman said the company was not eligible for the direct payment program, according to U.S. New and World Report.

The United States imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods this year as part of President Trump’s vow to cut the U.S. trade deficit with China, according to Reuters. Beijing retaliated by hitting $110 billion of U.S. products, including the agriculture sector.
