ARLINGTON, Va., July 28, 2025 – President Trump on Sunday announced the framework for a new trade deal with the European Union that reduces tariffs and aims to expand access for U.S. exports, including key agricultural products. The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) released the following statement from its president and CEO, Mike Seyfert:
“NGFA appreciates President Trump’s tireless efforts to expand international markets for U.S. agriculture, and we applaud the announcement of a trade deal framework with the European Union. This is a meaningful step forward in opening one of the world’s most restrictive markets to American producers. We are encouraged by the President’s call to diversify agricultural trade with the EU, and we look forward to ongoing discussions to build on that goal.
“A stable, rules-based framework also creates an opportunity to address longstanding non-tariff trade barriers. NGFA stands ready to work with the administration to ensure the agreement is finalized and implemented in a way that delivers real results for U.S. agriculture.”
