US President Trump announced a new trade agreement framework with the European Union aimed at lowering tariffs and boosting access for US agricultural exports.
The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) responded positively to the announcement, with President and CEO Mike Seyfert stating, “NGFA appreciates President Trump’s tireless efforts to expand international markets for US agriculture, and we applaud the announcement of a trade deal framework with the European Union.” He highlighted the significance of this move in opening a key market for American producers.
Seyfert added, “We are encouraged by the President’s call to diversify agricultural trade with the EU, and we look forward to ongoing discussions to build on that goal.”
He also emphasised the importance of creating a stable, rules-based environment to tackle long-standing non-tariff trade barriers: “NGFA stands ready to work with the administration to ensure the agreement is finalised and implemented in a way that delivers real results for US agriculture.”
