Gov. Reynolds Issues Statement on USDA "Trade Aid' Announcement
Statement
Issues: Trade Agriculture and Food
Gov. Kim Reynolds issued the following statement Tuesday on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's "trade aid" announcement -- $12 billion to help farmers hurt by tariffs.
"The $12 billion in farm aid announced today will provide a short-term fix, but it's not a long-term solution. As I've said all along, nobody wins in a trade war. We must continue to expand and open markets, protect the Renewable Fuel Standard and allow Iowa products to be sold across the globe. Iowa farmers are the most productive in the world and will always win when they have unrestricted access to markets. I will never stop fighting for Iowa families affected by this trade war."
