Trade normalcy will take patience: Parson
Missouri Governor Mike Parson says he looks for good things from trade breakthroughs with China, Canada and Mexico, but he says it will take patience. Governor Parson says the signing of the new NAFTA and the positive meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi “is huge” for Missouri agriculture, but he says a resolution to trade challenges will take time.
“I think sometimes you have to kind of think outside the box to really make changes and that’s difficult to do sometimes in bureaucracy,” Governor Parson told Brownfield Ag News before speaking to Missouri Farm Bureau members. “I think we’re going to be better off at the end of these deals when they’re done than we were before, and I think that’s all we can ask for.”
Patience, says Parson, is hard to come by for farmers already hit by drought and a bad economy. The governor spoke to reporters at the Missouri Farm Bureau Convention.
