Today, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture submitted comments to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative reaffirming NASDA’s position that no increased tariffs should be applied to Chinese goods in the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China.

“We agree with the Administration’s findings of China’s restrictive economic and trade policies. However, NASDA believes alternative steps, such as engaging a coalition of like-minded countries, is a better solution to advancing free and fair trade with China,” NASDA CEO Barb Glenn said.
“Trade actions that trigger retaliation threaten rural jobs and fall disproportionately on agriculture, with immediate, adverse effects that greatly outweigh benefits. There should be no increased or additional tariffs levied for the sake of our rural economy.”
