United States Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue commended President Donald Trump for his regulatory reform efforts. Secretary Perdue says President Trump has shown great leadership on reducing burdensome regulations. Perdue goes on to add:

?Here at USDA, it is my goal to establish ongoing communications to give producers and consumers a voice on the implementation of new regulations and avoid unintended consequences associated with undermining our science-based approval process,? Perdue said. ?The deregulatory actions announced yesterday generate measurable cost offsets in annualized savings and help ensure USDA?s programs are delivered efficiently, effectively, with integrity and a focus on customer service. No longer can we afford onerous red tape that simply serves to hold American agricultural producers back from feeding and clothing the world.?
