Chuck Grassley says the U.S. Congress will reject any deal that excludes agriculture

When trade representatives visit me to discuss biotechnology products, often the first thing I do is eat a genetically modified kernel of corn from my farm in New Hartford, Iowa, to show that American biotechnology products are safe for consumers. In Europe, this wouldn’t be possible. As a WTO panel found, the EU unduly delays approvals for U.S. agricultural biotechnology. Remarkably, the delays take place even after EU scientists conclude the products at issue are safe.

Unfortunately, the EU’s insistence on excluding agriculture from trade talks doesn’t come as a surprise. There have been countless tariff and nontariff barriers imposed on American agricultural products over the past two decades. For example, the EU has sought to exclude U.S.

The United States and the EU have enjoyed a special relationship for decades. The EU bloc of 28 member countries is the United States’ largest trading partner with more than $1 trillion in trade in 2017. In fact, it’s the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship in the world. The U.S. and EU economies together account for nearly half of the world’s gross domestic product and for almost one-third of the world’s trade.

Great to see bi-partisan support! The country needs MORE bi-partisan cooperation to stop these destructive tariffs! We also need Bi-Partisan support to stop Bolton from starting a WAR!!

ops

so you jump in with the bad guys and f' the ALLIES... you do know this will at some point...slap us in the FACE..right?

Why don't the other Senators announce like Grassley what THEIR constituents want THEM to do FOR THEM? Or do they cower and hide and shrink and melt in the sight of the almighty Mc Connell? WHAT THE FUC*

Right so, no trade deal for the US then. Enough time wasted on this one.

Of course! Grassley doesn't want to lose money for his farms!

U.S. and China break off talks without deal to end widening trade warWith fresh tariffs in place and President Trump insisting he’s in no hurry for a trade deal, top U.S. and Chinese officials ended talks Friday in Washington without reaching an agreement or providing immediate word of future negotiations. Is this 'no deal' the same as the 'great deal' Trump announced a few months ago as already happening? So along with many other fundamental realities, he doesn't recognize the laws of temporality, I guess. .
