Senator Joni Ernst and the rest of the Iowa Congressional Delegation recently sent a letter to President Trump expressing concern about the impact of trade negotiations on farmers in the state. Ernst, a Republican from Red Oak, says process for handling trade issues isn’t exactly the way she would do it — but she says she the president does listen.

Ernst says they continue to remind the president of the concerns of farmers.

Ernst and Senator Chuck Grassley recently met with Terry Branstad, who is the former Iowa governor and now Ambassador to China to discuss trade with that country.
