Secretary Naig at White House for Signing of USMCA

DES MOINES, Iowa (Jan. 29, 2020) – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig issued the following statement in response to President Trump signing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement today.

“It was exciting to be in Washington D.C. to witness President Trump sign the modernized USMCA,” said Secretary Naig. “U.S. farmers are benefiting from the Trump administration’s efforts to renegotiate unbalanced trade agreements. Under the new USMCA, Iowa farmers will gain greater access to our two largest export markets, which is great news heading into the 2020 planting season.”
