American Soybean Association President Josh Gackle testified in the House Agriculture Committee hearing on China. As the United States considers action to protect its national security interests, Gackle said it is also important to protect its economic and trade interests. The Kulm, North Dakota farmer believes any effort to modify or repeal China’s Permanent Normal Trade Relations status should be rejected. “ASA is very concerned that revoking PNTR for China would have severe consequences. In 2018, US Soybean exports to China were among the first agricultural commodities targeted for retaliatory tariffs and it is entirely possible that U.S. Soybeans would be impacted yet again.” Gackle also spoke in favor of a farm bill that meets the needs of American agriculture and the need for new trade agreements.
