KS Congressman supports trade deal with Japan

Kansas Congressman Ron Estes is supportive of a new trade deal with Japan.

Estes says the deal is good for Kansas and released the following statement.

“Farmers and ranchers in Kansas will benefit greatly from the recently-announced trade agreement in principle between the U.S. and Japan, opening up the Japanese market for American beef, pork, dairy, and ethanol,” said Rep. Estes. “Since entering Congress, I’ve witnessed Japan’s eagerness to forge a bilateral agreement with us, and I’m pleased with this progress by President Trump and Trade Representative Lighthizer. This trade deal reinforces our commitment to free and fair trade and is yet another call for other nations to come to the negotiating table.”

A big part of this deal also revolves around Japan buying excess corn from U.S. farmers.
