Canada’s Agriculture Minister
spent the weekend promoting the North American Free Trade Agreement at the
American Farm Bureau Federation Convention and IDEAg (Idea-ag) trade show in
Nashville, Tennessee. MacAulay, a keynote speaker at the event, traveled to
Nashville to promote Canada-U.S. trade through NAFTA, saying the trade
agreement “delivers high-quality foods and supports millions of middle-class
jobs on both sides of the border.” MacAulay was scheduled to participate in a
roundtable with U.S. agriculture producer and business groups, meet with AFBF
President Zippy Duvall, and numerous state counterparts. President Donald Trump
was also confirmed to attend the conference, delivering a speech Monday
afternoon before traveling to Atlanta to attend the national college football
championship game between Georgia and Alabama with USDA Secretary and Georgia
native Sonny Perdue.
