Senator Marshall Applauds President Trump’s Historic US-EU Trade Deal

Washington – On Monday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), issued the following statement applauding President Trump’s historic trade deal made with the EU:

“President Trump is a master dealmaker who has taken decisive action to secure fair trade terms for American farmers, energy producers, and workers,” said Senator Marshall. “This landmark deal with the EU will expand markets for Kansas producers and help reduce America’s $24 billion agricultural trade deficit with the EU. It will also increase investment in the U.S. by at least $600 billion and lead to the purchase of $750 billion worth of American energy. This is the Golden Age of America, and exactly how you put America first.”

This deal will deliver major wins for the United States’ agriculture, including:

• There are 15% tariffs on most European imports and 0% on most U.S. exports.
• The EU will purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy, including ethanol.
• Reduce America’s $24 billion agricultural trade deficit with the EU.
