Here’s what The AP reported:
Trump later traveled with his motorcade 40 miles northeast to Leighton, Iowa, where he visited a soybean farm. There, he autographed a John Deere combine and touted his administration’s trade policy as a boon for farmers, even as Mexico and Canada seek to renegotiate the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
In front of the polished, green farm implement and a backdrop of amber soybeans, Trump also commented on the stop-gap government spending measure aimed at keeping the federal government from a partial shutdown. Trump said House Republicans, who hold a thin majority, “got very little.”
“I think they could have done a much better deal,” he said.
As Trump maintains a strong lead in Iowa, his Republican rivals are scrambling for backing, hoping a strong showing can help them consolidate the non-Trump support.

Per Yahoo News:
President Donald Trump campaigned in rural Iowa on October 1, visiting farmers and delivering a fiery speech in Ottumwa.
This footage, filmed by Margo Martin – Trump’s deputy director of communications – shows Trump signing a John Deere combine harvester on a farm in Leighton, before he turns to the crowd and asks, “You think Biden can do that?”.
Earlier, Trump spoke at an event in Ottumwa in a bid to lock up support ahead of the Iowa caucus in early 2024.
“With your support on Monday, January 15, we’re going to win the caucuses in an historic landslide,” Trump told the packed hall on Sunday.
