U-S Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa believes the Biden Administration is against any type of free trade agreements, especially with agricultural trade.  Grassley spoke to ag media representatives during his weekly news conference.  He says the president has been slow to nominate key agricultural trade officials and has not established any trade agreements during his two years of office.  Grassley points to the United Kingdom as a potential trade partner.  He says negotiations have been on-going for several years with the administration dragging its feet.  Grassley says there are several similarities with the United States and United Kingdom, and there is no reason to delay the process any further.  Grassley says United Kingdom officials are ready to sign a trade agreement.  He says it is the United States that continues to move slowly.
