The US will hold accountable countries that sign trade deals with it to meet the targets set in the agreements, a US trade official said on Thursday.
“The reasons for the US signing more trade deals is to put more dollars in the pockets of the farmers. The US will hold the other side accountable for trade deals,” said Luke Lindberg, Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs (TFAA). He was speaking at the inaugural function of Soy Connext 2025, organised by the US Soybean Export Council. (USSEC).
He said that getting better deals, putting more money in farmers’ pockets, and holding the other side accountable were the three steps of the US trade negotiation process with other countries.
