The Senate Finance Committee heard testimony from the administration’s pick for chief ag negotiator during his confirmation hearing Thursday.
Doug McKalip told lawmakers market access is a priority. “I also look forward to ensuring farmers and ranchers are front and center as USTR looks to strengthen our trade relationships, execute new initiatives and address new challenges like China.”
Chairmen Ron Wyden of Oregon asked McKalip to address fertilizer export challenges with China.
