Food and Ag Dialogue Letter to Lighthizer

Food and Ag Dialogue Letter to Lighthizer

On February 8 the Asia-Pacific Market Working Group of the U.S. Food and Agriculture Dialogue for Trade sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Robert Lighthizer supporting the administrations recent comments about reengaging with Trans-Pacific Partnership members in a manner that promotes trade in the Asia-Pacific region. According to the letter the working group “welcomes President Trump’s recent address at the World Economic Forum, in which he stated that the “United States is prepared to negotiate mutually beneficial, bilateral trade agreements with all countries…includ[ing] the countries within TPP [Trans Pacific Partnership]” and that the United States “would consider negotiating with the rest [of the TPP countries] either individually or perhaps as a group if it is in the interests of all.”
