US agriculture has long been the leading beneficiary of US free trade agreements (FTAs) & FTAs remain the best way to open new markets for US farm products by knocking down prohibitive foreign tariffs & protectionist sanitary & phytosanitary restrictions. https://t.co/klWy2GpdO3
A positive US trade policy for agriculture means:
💡Reengage in bilateral, regional, & multilateral negotiations on market access
💡Roll back tariffs
💡Compensate US farmers for negative impacts of higher US tariffs
💡Full enforcement of other countries’ agricultural commitments
💡Transparency
💡Negotiations to remove foreign discrimination.
