Governor Reynolds talked about the need to get trade squared away. The United States is talking with China, but the March 1st deadline on the ?cease-fire? is running out. Governor Reynolds is cautiously optimistic.

Governor Reynolds also said getting the United States ? Mexico ? Canada Agreement ratified was very important. Not only to provide stability for Ag exports but also to start removing steel and aluminum tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

On E15, Governor Reynolds says she has been in communication with Environmental Protection Agency Acting Administrator Wheeler about getting the rulemaking process moving. She intends to speak with him again, very soon, in Washington.
