This resolution expresses the sense of Congress that both legislative and executive branches must urgently collaborate to pursue effective food and agricultural trade policies. It highlights the critical importance of the United States food and agriculture industries to national prosperity and global food security, noting their significant economic output and export value. The resolution acknowledges a recent decline in agricultural exports and a projected trade deficit, contrasting with historical surpluses and indicating a loss of global trade dominance due to unjustified trade barriers and tariffs. To address these challenges, the resolution calls for a renewed commitment to securing new market access and maintaining global competitiveness for U.S. agriculture. It advocates for strong support of domestic trade promotion programs and the consideration of comprehensive trade agreements to lower tariffs and resolve unwarranted trade barriers. Furthermore, it emphasizes the enforcement of existing trade agreements and U.S. trade laws, along with the elimination of non-tariff barriers through effective dispute settlement processes, to foster a global trading system based on sound science.
