The records show 4,304 canceled deliveries between May and September across the 50 states, Puerto Rico and D.C. Each truck here represents a delivery that would never arrive to feed communities.

All told, the deliveries accounted for nearly 94 million pounds of food. The true loss is likely greater, food banks said, because not all of the year’s deliveries had been scheduled.

Yet more evidence that Trump wants US farmers to fail.

Trump wants the US to fail, and he's doing all he can to make that happen. 188,000,000 million meals, approximately, is a huge nutritional deficit. What happened to that food? The food and transport were already paid for, what happened to the money?
