The deal unveiled this week for Britain to exit the European Union would block U.S. plans to negotiate a free trade agreement with the U.K., preventing a new opening for American agricultural trade with the country, several British officials tell Agri-Pulse.

Farmers who were hit by hurricanes and wildfires last year can still sign up for significant financial assistance from the USDA, but time will run out Friday, Farm Service Administrator Richard Fordyce told Agri-Pulse in an interview.

The goal is for the U.S. and China to agree on a preliminary “framework” for a deal to end the countries’ trade hostilities when President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping meet later this month as scheduled in Argentina at the G20 summit, U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad told Agri-Pulse today.

The deals struck by the U.S., Mexico and Canada in renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement promise new trading opportunities for U.S. farmers, but the Trump administration’s trade wars and the tariffs that go with them more than negate the potential gains, according to a new study presented today by the Farm Foundation.
