Farm Bureau Encouraged by U.K. Trade Deal

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the announced trade deal between the United States and the United Kingdom.

"Farm Bureau appreciates the work between the administration and the United Kingdom to secure a new trade agreement. We have long advocated for new trade deals, and this is an important first step in expanding markets in the four countries. More work is needed, however, to remove the arbitrary barriers that have excluded American-grown food from grocery stores in the U.K.

"America's farmers and ranchers grow the safest and most affordable food in the world. We're encouraged by progress to create market opportunities for farmers. We urge the administration to build on this success to pursue more trade agreements, and resolve current disputes, so farmers can continue to feed families here at home and overseas."
