@SecretarySonny
- · Encouraging news out of #Taiwan: Big step toward expanded mkt access for US #beef & #pork consistent w/ science-based intl standards & longstanding commitments. Looking fwd to final action from Taiwan so consumers there can enjoy more safe, delicious US #meat products.
- · [RT @Mike_Pence]: Taiwan’s decision today to ease restrictions on US pork & beef imports is another example of President @realDonaldTrump delivering on his promise to our farmers and our Nation! It opens the door for further economic cooperation and a stronger trade partnership.
