I'm in Wausau today meeting with Wisconsin ginseng farmers. They need an end to Trump's trade war with China and certainty for the fall season. They can't afford to wait.

Marathon County grows 90% of all cultivated American ginseng. 85% of Wisconsin ginseng is exported to China but their tariffs against Wisconsin ginseng for over a year have devastated our exports. Instead of escalating his trade war Trump should deliver a better trade deal."
