Washington - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman repeated his belief that more U.S. food will be donated to struggling countries partly to help deplete U.S. grain and meat surpluses at home.
“I see that going forward,” he said.
“After all, there are still a lot of hungry people in the world and we have large excess supplies here,” he said on C-SPAN.
Glickman did not provide any specifics.
The Agriculture Department late last year negotiated a massive food aid package to Russia and provided U.S. food humanitarian aid to other struggling countries.
