The National Farmers Union released this announcement about tariffs on those three nations.
National Farmers Union President Rob Larew says “The tariffs announced, along with retaliatory measures from China and Canada, will have serious consequences for American agriculture. Our farmers are the backbone of this country, and they need strong, fair trade policies that ensure they can compete on a level playing field—not be caught in the middle of international disputes.”
Larew also says “We are already facing significant economic uncertainty, and these actions only add to the strain. Trade policies must come with real, tangible protections for the farmers directly affected. We’ve heard there’s a strategy in place—now we need to see it.”
The National Farmers Union President also says promises alone won’t pay the bills or keep farms afloat.
“Without a clear plan, family farmers will once again be left to bear the burden of decisions beyond their control, and eventually, so will consumers.”
“We urge the administration to work with our trading partners to prevent further harm to rural communities,” said Larew.
