Further, members from both sides of the aisle and chambers have reservations about the Section 232 tariffs in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Today’s announcement adds another political barrier, which may hinder Congressional consideration of the agreement.” – Ben Scholz, National Association of Wheat Growers President and Texas Wheat Grower, commenting on the latest actions in the U.S. trade conflict with China in a news release.
