Representative Adrian Smith, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee's Trade Subcommittee, issued a statement following the announcement of details on the Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced Trade between the United States and the European Union.

"This joint statement shows what American producers, manufacturers, and digital providers have long known to be true--the European Union proliferated burdensome tariff and non-tariff barriers on U.S. products. I'm grateful for the tireless work of President Trump's trade team to knock these unfounded barriers down one by one. I look forward to seeing the EU fulfill these commitments, which will create an environment for shared economic prosperity and security," Smith said.

Adrian Smith has represented Nebraska’s 3rd district in Congress since 2007, after succeeding Tom Osborne. Before his tenure in Congress, Smith served in the Nebraska Legislature from 1999 to 2007. He was born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska in 1970 and currently resides in Gering. Smith is a graduate of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
