Farmers for Free Trade is calling for lawmakers to pass the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement soon. Co-Executive Director Brian Kuehl says 2,200 farmers have signed a letter to Congressional leaders asking them to ratify the trade agreement. “This is not a Democrat or Republican issue or a partisan issue, it’s about real people and real farms.” U.S. Dairy Export Council President and CEO Tom Vilsack says it’s key for Congress to get the job done. “The Trump administration and Congress are working in good faith. Ambassador Lighthizer has done an excellent job listening and trying to be responsive. I’m hopeful the final touches of negotiations take place quickly and Congressional leaders move this important trade agreement.”
