Cornyn Commends Interim U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement, Tariff Reduction on Texas Beef

Statement

Sen. Cornyn applauded the Trump Administration today for a taking a positive first step toward reaching a comprehensive bilateral trade agreement with Japan. The interim agreement that was signed at the White House provides increased market access for American businesses and producers, and levels the playing field by reducing tariffs for Texas cattle ranchers, feeders, and producers.

"I'm grateful to the Trump Administration for taking concrete steps to expand market access and foster free, fair trade for our nation around the globe," said Sen. Cornyn. "This agreement means a great deal to Texas agriculture, especially our beef producers, and I urge my colleagues in Congress to build upon this progress by working to ratify the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement this year."
