    Although California’s farm country appeared to vote overwhelmingly for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, there are concerns that his trade policies and stance on illegal immigration could cost the state’s farmers billions of dollars.
    On the campaign trail, Trump talked repeatedly about imposing a 60% tariff on all Chinese products and a 10% tariff on imports from all other countries in an effort to protect U.S. companies.
