Mon, 29 Jun 2015 15:02:07 CDT
The President of the American Farm Bureau, Bob Stallman, released the following statement on Monday afternoon after word came from the White House that President Barack Obama signed Trade Promotion Authority into law. This will allow any trade deal a President might negotiate over the next six years to be subject to only an up or down vote in the Congress- without amendment.
"President Obama's signature today opens the door to creating new trade partnerships around the world that will drive American business forward in the international marketplace.
"The American economy stands stronger when we work together and that's just what Trade Promotion Authority enables us to do at the bargaining table. U.S. agriculture is ready for ambitious trade agreements that break down barriers to products grown and made in America, so our trading partners know we mean business."
