Grassley urges trade caution


Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says anyone reviewing or renegotiating trade deals needs to remember that agriculture is often the first target when countries retaliate against the U.S. on trade.  Grassley met with fellow Finance Committee members and a top trade advisor for President Trump, Peter Navarro, this week.  The senator says agriculture is a major exporter and anything that restricts export markets for the United States farm products very likely means lost income for Iowa farmers and ag workers.  Grassley says he supports better trade deals, but he doesn't want to see anything that hurts major sectors of the economy like agriculture.
