U.S. trade policy was discussed during a recent virtual roundtable hosted by U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown with U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai.
“Ambassador Tai had promised during her confirmation that she would come to Ohio and she recently met with some of our state farmers, workers, and leaders virtually ,” he says. “She wanted to hear about how and what trade policy affects farmers, manufacturing, and small towns. I think that she learned something from a very diverse group of Ohioans in the roundtable and understands how important US exports are.”
He tells Brownfield it’s important for the ambassador to hear how trade policy has impacted farmers and rural areas.
