Except corn, which is heavily su subsidized.

I’m in favor of additional subsidies to support local manufacturing of critical products, to protect the local population against the whims of the global market.

I’m not a huge fan of tariffs, but in theory tariffs can get the same job done. And I’m willing to concede that a balance between subsidies and tariffs might be the sweet spot for practicality, or might be a necessary a step on the journey to pragmatic people centric policies.
