Following the signing of a preliminary U.S.-Japan trade agreement by U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe in New York City today, National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) President and North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring issued the following statement:
“Japan is a $12.9 billion business for our agriculture industry. We praise President Trump and Ambassador Lighthizer for inking this win to expand access for U.S. producers and signal that we will not cede our market share to global competitors. NASDA encourages the Administration to continue working towards a more comprehensive U.S.-Japan bilateral that addresses the full range of trade issues with our Japanese trading partners.”
NASDA represents the elected and appointed commissioners, secretaries, and directors of the departments of agriculture in all fifty states and four U.S. territories. NASDA grows and enhances agriculture by forging partnerships and creating consensus to achieve sound policy outcomes between state departments of agriculture, the federal government, and stakeholders.
