AGRICULTURAL TRADE OUTLOOK
4
With the productivity of U.S. agriculture growing faster than domestic demand, the U.S. food and agriculture industry—and the rural communities that depend
on it—relies heavily on export markets to sustain prices and revenues.

TRADE IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
7
The overarching purpose of our trade policy – the guiding principle behind all of our actions in this key area – will be to expand trade in a way that is freer and fairer for all Americans.
Every action we take with respect to trade will be designed to increase our economic growth, promote job creation in the United States, promote reciprocity with our trading partners, strengthen our manufacturing base and our ability to defend ourselves, and expand our
agricultural and services industry exports. As a general matter, we believe that these goals can be best accomplished by focusing on bilateral negotiations rather than multilateral
negotiations – and by renegotiating and revising trade agreements when our goals are not being met.
