Report Looks at Trade Retaliation Impact on California
Farmers for Free Trade released a report ahead of an event on Thursday that will highlight California concerns that retaliatory tariffs from China hurt commodities like almonds, grapes, apples, and what the group calls “many other iconic California exports.”
The pro-trade group is co-chaired by former Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Richard Lugar, R-Ind.
