Rounds Notes Importance of Trade for South Dakota Ag Products in Letter to U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer
Press Release
Issues: Trade Agriculture and Food
U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today sent a letter to recently-confirmed U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Robert Lighthizer, to follow up on a recent meeting they held to discuss the importance of trade for South Dakota's agricultural sector.
"We are in clear agreement on the benefits of opening new markets for U.S. beef exports, lowering tariffs on American agricultural products and maintaining our relationships to countries within the North American Free-Trade Agreement (NAFTA)," wrote Rounds in the letter. "I appreciate your commitment to stand up for and promote the United States' agricultural industry abroad."
Rounds and Lighthizer met prior to Lighthizer's confirmation to be U.S. Trade Representative.
