一名政府官员周五表示，特朗普政府向农民提供的80亿美元柴油援助将在11月3日选举之后发放。
The Trump administration's $8 billion in diesel aid for farmers will be disbursed after the November 3 election, an administration official said on Friday.
特朗普总统周一在堪萨斯州的一场集会上宣布了这项援助，这是其为缓解美国民众因伊朗战争而承受的高油价之苦而采取的一系列代价高昂且政治敏感的措施之一。
President Donald Trump announced the aid at a rally in Kansas on Monday as part of a suite of costly and politically fraught actions to offer Americans relief from high fuel prices driven up by the war in Iran.
美国农业部官员理查德·福代斯告诉路透社，付款的确切时间仍有待确定。
US Department of Agriculture official Richard Fordyce told Reuters the exact timing of payments is still to be determined.
“我猜，大概会在接近年底的时候，”福代斯说。“目前这一点还不太清楚。”
"It’s going to be close to the end of the year, would be my guess," Fordyce said. "That is a little unclear at this point."
