Americans for Farmers and Families have announced a new project entitled ”Retaliation Hurts Rural Families”. The organization is trying to take that message to the Trump administration which seems to be inviting trade retaliation from America’s customers by imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum. Group spokesman Ed Wiederstein, former Iowa Farm Bureau President says his major concern is what could happen to the NAFTA agreement if there’s trade retaliation.
He says agriculture gets hit the hardest when trade retaliation happens.
Wiederstein says if U.S. ag trade is negatively affected, the impact translates into loss of jobs.
Wiederstein says another concern with trade retaliation is it can result in the loss of market access for U.S. agriculture.
