NAT'L FARMERS UNION URGES PRESIDENT TO CONSIDER TARIFFS' IMPACT ON FARMERS
Source: National Farmers Union news release

WASHINGTON - National Farmers Union (NFU) President Rob Larew today issued the following statement in response to President Trump's plan to enact tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China:

"The trade actions announced by the president will almost certainly trigger significant retaliation against U.S. agricultural products. This comes at a time of deep uncertainty for farmers--commodity prices are volatile, input costs remain high, and we still lack an updated farm bill.

"One thing is clear: American family farmers and ranchers are always the first to bear the brunt of unilateral trade actions. While we support efforts to hold trading partners accountable and strengthen American manufacturing, our members have already suffered heavy losses from past trade disputes, especially with China, and have lost valuable market access.

"Before taking any action that might further stress farm and rural economies, we urge the president to put a plan in place to protect and support family farmers and ranchers."
