U.S. Senator Joni Ernst of
Iowa told the Iowa Corn Growers Association this week that President Donald
Trump appears to be reassessing his position on the North American Free Trade
Agreement. Ernst told farmers Monday that “I think he has doubts,” when it
comes to withdrawing from NAFTA. Iowa’s Cedar Rapids Gazette reports that Ernst
expects a follow up NAFTA meeting with the President, following a meeting
between Trump and a group of farm-state Senators in December. She says the goal
is to make sure the President understands that NAFTA is “a good thing
nationwide,” and not just for one particular economic sector. The NAFTA
negotiations will resume later this month in Canada. Ernst fears that if the
talks fail, Mexico, the top buyer of U.S. corn, will find mass supplies of the
commodity from other nations.
