Sec. Rollins on Japan Deal: This will be the key to replacing China as a buyer of corn and soybeans

President Trump has officially inked a trade deal with Japan, which will result in Japan spending more than half a trillion dollars on U.S. projects, including soybeans, corn, and commercial aircraft.

Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins believes the corn and soybean purchase commitment will be the key to replacing China as a buyer.

She joined RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander to discuss the “historic” deal, why it is the kind of deal the agriculture sector has been needing and asking for.

Secretary Rollins will head to Japan in the coming weeks on a trade mission.
