Agriculture Secretary Sonny
Perdue will speak at this summer’s World Meat Congress in Dallas, Texas. Taking
place May 30th through June first, Perdue will address participants on Thursday
morning, May 31st, during the “Global Politics of Food” session. The U.S. Meat
Export Federation, the organization hosting the global event, announced the
appearance by Perdue. USMEF CEO Emeritus Philip Seng says the event provides
“an opportunity to showcase the U.S. agricultural model for industry leaders
from across the globe.” Seng called Perdue a “champion for trade,” who can
provide his insights on the Trump administration’s philosophy on trade and its
approach to trade agreement negotiations. The World Meat Congress is a biennial
event, with the 2018 theme being “Trusting in Trade.” This is the first time in
the history of the more than 20-year-old event that it will be held in the
United States.
