Sec. Rollins advocated for U.S. agriculture on her trip to the UK

Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins is in the United Kingdom this week, her first overseas mission since taking office.

She shared pictures of her meetings on social media, as she advocated for fair trade for U.S. farmers. Rollins’ trip comes on the heels of President Trump announcing a significant trade deal with the UK. Rollins says the country needs American agriculture, and UK consumers and farmers deserve the freedom to choose top-quality U.S. products.

Her message: Let Them Choose USA
