House Ag Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson and Ranking Member Angie Craig are urging President Donald Trump to quickly appoint a full bipartisan panel of commissioners to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In a joint statement, the House Agriculture Committee leaders said a fully staffed Commodity Futures Trading Commission is essential to maintaining stability, integrity, and U.S. leadership in global derivatives markets. Thompson and Craig emphasized that ensuring the commission is fully equipped remains a bipartisan priority as regulators oversee increasingly complex commodity, energy, and financial markets that play a major role in agriculture and risk management.
