American Farm Bureau's Zippy Duvall Calls on US and Chinese Officials to Negotiate an End to the Current Tariff Standoff
Wed, 04 Apr 2018 14:45:39 CDT
The following statement on today’s Chinese tariff announcement may be attributed to American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall:
“Farmers and ranchers are, by necessity, patient and optimistic. We know markets ebb and flow. But China’s threatened retaliation against last night’s U.S. tariff proposal is testing both the patience and optimism of families who are facing the worst agricultural economy in 16 years. This has to stop.
“Growing trade disputes have placed farmers and ranchers in a precarious position. We have bills to pay and debts we must settle, and cannot afford to lose any market, much less one as important as China’s. We urge the United States and China to return to negotiations and produce an agreement that serves the interests of the world’s two largest economies.”
