STATEMENT FROM TEXAS AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER SID MILLER SUPPORTING U.S. REP. JODEY ARRINGTON’S EFFORTS TO EXPAND RURAL HEALTHCARE ACCESS

STATEMENT FROM COMMISSIONER SID MILLER APPLAUDING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DELAY OF TARIFFS ON KEY AGRICULTURE COMMODITIES
I applaud President Trump’s decision to delay tariffs on Mexican and Canadian agricultural commodities and products included in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). This decision will provide more time for open negotiation with both countries and, most importantly, provide short-term relief and time for our agricultural producers. I also fully support President Trump’s initiative to leverage tariffs to restore fair and equitable trade agreements that benefit Americans. His ongoing tariff strategy will strengthen domestic production, attract new investments, spur job growth, and ultimately reduce costs for American consumers. While there will be a short-term adjustment period—undoubtedly challenging for farmers already facing hardships—our agricultural industry will emerge stronger and more resilient than ever.  [More]
