A bipartisan group of lawmakers is asking the Trump Administration to prioritize market access for U.S. potatoes in its trade negotiations with China. Exports are significant for the fresh potato business and more market access is being sought. The letter is signed by a large coalition, including North Dakota Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer and Minnesota Senator Tina Smith. On the House side, Minnesota Congressman Collin Peterson and North Dakota Representative Kelly Armstrong signed off on the letter.
