WASHINGTON DC (August 2, 2019) — Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue issued the following statement after an agreement was signed between the United States and the European Union regarding beef trade between the two nations:
“Getting more US beef into the EU market is yet another example of President Trump expanding markets around the globe for our agriculture producers. EU consumers desire high-quality products, and I have no doubt that when given the opportunity to purchase US products we will see more Europeans choose to buy American. America’s farmers and ranchers are the most productive on earth and I thank President Trump and Ambassador [Robert] Lighthizer for their continued work to promote the bounty of the American harvest across the world.”
