U.S. Wheat Organization Statement on USTR Pick

 Washington, D.C. (November 27, 2024) – Following is a statement from U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) and National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG):

“Trade deals with Japan and Mexico won by the previous Trump Administration protected crucial U.S. wheat export markets. U.S. Wheat Associates and the National Association of Wheat Growers strongly support an Office of the U.S. Trade Representative actively focused on enforcement of trade rules and opening markets under Jamieson Greer. The organizations look forward to working with him and the next Agricultural Trade Negotiator on behalf of American wheat growers.”
