Mike Naig, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture
Re:
Preliminary trade agreement with Mexico
Statement
of Mike Naig, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture:
“The
announcement today of a preliminary trade agreement with Mexico shows
encouraging signs of progress, but plenty of work lies ahead of us. I will continue to advocate for new and
expanded markets for our farmers that have been directly impacted by the
ongoing trade negotiations with China and our NAFTA partners.
“These
are crucial trading partners and consumers of Iowa ag products. Our farmers
need access to these markets and I will continue to echo these sediments to the
Administration and our U.S. trade officials.”
