Representative Adrian Smith, who chairs the Ways and Means Committee's Trade Subcommittee, commented on the recent agreement between the United States and the European Union to reduce trade barriers and encourage mutual investment.

"This announcement breaks new ground for trade relations with our partners in the European Union. The EU has long posed significant tariff and non-tariff barriers to American goods and services. President Trump and his negotiating team have secured powerful commitments which, if upheld, will unlock meaningful market access for American manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, and digital companies. The deal will also strengthen supply chains critical for shared economic and national security. I salute the work of President Trump and Ambassador Jamieson Greer, who continue to be relentless in the president's mission to establish a level playing field for our world-leading producers and innovators," Smith said.

Smith has represented Nebraska’s 3rd district in Congress since 2007 after serving in the Nebraska Legislature from 1999 to 2007. He was born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska in 1970 and currently resides in Gering. Smith earned his BA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1993.
