The head of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance said there was “overwhelming support” for renewing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) among both the Democrat and Republican lawmakers his group met this week in Washington, D.C. (The Logic)
Talking point: Michael Harvey, executive director of the coalition of farmers, food processors and other agricultural exporters, said that was a change from his April visit, when Republicans were in wait-and-see mode on President Donald Trump’s trade strategy. “Now we’re seeing them express concern about how the strategy is playing out.” Harvey points to a “vibe shift” over the rising cost of living. It has hit Trump’s approval rating too. Last month, nearly 125 U.S. agricultural and food organizations urged the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to renew the USMCA. “Without the economic might that this trilateral agreement affords, farmer incomes would be harmed,” they wrote.
