DES MOINES, IOWA (October 11, 2019) — Today, Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to President Trump’s announcement of a phase 1 trade deal with China:
“Today’s announcement from President Trump is very encouraging news for our farmers, manufacturers, and the economy as a whole. With China's commitment to purchase additional ag products, and the promise to ease tariffs, this ‘phase 1’ agreement would represent a major step forward. To build on this positive momentum, Congress should ratify the USMCA trade agreement to bring greater stability to our ag economy, our farmers, and small businesses.”
