Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins will visit the United Kingdom this week, just days after the U.S. and U.K. announced a trade agreement in principle was in place between the two countries.
“I’m traveling to the U.K. on my first foreign mission to meet with my counterparts and discuss the commitments of this new deal,” Rollins said. “It’s our goal to achieve even closer relations with the U.K., and we are thankful for the agreement that gives our farmers, ranchers, and food processors increased market access in the United Kingdom.”
Rollins will meet with U.K. government officials, visit facilities importing U.S. agricultural products, and talk with U.K. importers about how to best position U.S. products in that market.
Following the visit to the U.K., Rollins will travel to Japan, Vietnam, Brazil, Peru, Italy, and India over the next five months.
Other USDA trade missions include Hong Kong, the Dominican Republic, Taiwan, and Mexico.
