Mr. Speaker, soybean growers across eastern North Carolina and our Nation are facing rising input costs, global competition, and continued uncertainty. A stable and mutually beneficial trade relationship requires sustained access to commercial markets and greater certainty. Mr. Speaker, I urge President Trump, ahead of his meeting with President Xi Jinping, to secure a clear and verifiable timeline for China to fulfill its purchasing commitments and remove the 10 percent tariff on soybeans. Agriculture is the economic backbone of eastern North Carolina, and our farmers would rather compete in the marketplace than rely on emergency assistance due to trade disruptions. With fair, predictable terms, our producers can compete anywhere in the world.
