Texas – The historic trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom marks a significant milestone for American agriculture. The deal opens up new opportunities for producers, particularly in Texas, with expanded access to important markets. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller recently issued a statement to highlight the benefits of the agreement for the state’s agricultural industry.
“I want to congratulate President Donald J. Trump on securing a historic trade agreement with the United Kingdom.
Announced on the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, this landmark deal represents a major step forward in advancing American economic prosperity and preserving trade relations with one of our oldest allies.
It opens the door to more than \$5 billion in new exports for American agriculture producers with expanded access for beef, ethanol, and a wide range of Texas-grown products.
By reducing or eliminating discriminatory non-tariff barriers, President Trump has leveled the playing field for our producers and ensured that Texas agriculture will thrive in one of the world’s most important markets.
This deal not only enhanced trade but also reinforced our shared values and strengthened the special relationship between America and the United Kingdom.
It’s a win for American jobs, American families, and the hardworking men and women who feed and clothe the world.”
