President Trump, Trade Representative Lighthizer and Agriculture Secretary Perdue addressed American Farm Bureau Federation Council of Presidents meeting on Wednesday. “President Trump talked about the successes they’ve had and the things the administration has done for agriculture including the Market Facilitation Program payments, the COVID-19 programs and he also talked about the Waters of the United States rule,” said Scott VanderWal, the AFBF vice president and South Dakota Farm Bureau president. The U.S. and China phase one trade deal was also part of the discussion. “It appears China is living up to their obligations under the phase one deal. President Trump mentioned a few times how he’s not too happy with China, but the trade of agriculture products is a bright spot.”
