Today, Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) responded to the White House's nomination of Julie Callahan as Chief Agricultural Negotiator for the Office of the United States Trade Representative. In his statement, Smith emphasized the significance of this role in representing American agriculture producers in trade negotiations and the upcoming 2026 review of USMCA.

"The Chief Agriculture Negotiator is vital for ensuring American agriculture producers have a voice in ongoing trade negotiations and, importantly, the 2026 review of USMCA," Smith stated. He praised Dr. Callahan's understanding of fostering strong relationships with trading partners and advocating for increased market access for American products.

He also urged the Senate to confirm Callahan's nomination promptly.
