The Renewable Fuels Association today thanked President Trump and administration officials for recent trade announcements important to U.S. farmers and the ethanol producers who partner with them.
“President Trump’s trade actions in Asia this past week are evidence of his clear commitment to promoting American agriculture and renewable fuels around the world,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “We thank him and his administration for their work to expand markets for U.S. agriculture, and to bolster opportunities for rural America to continue its leadership role in feeding and fueling the world.”
Most recently, USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins posted this morning on social media that “Every day, we’re getting closer to Japan fulfilling its commitment to buy $8 billion in U.S. corn, soybeans, rice, ethanol, and other agricultural goods. This announcement capitalizes on our earlier agreements with Japan, opens new markets, and honors the hard work of our farmers, ensuring prosperity for rural communities.”
