AAR President & CEO Ian Jefferies

This week’s Open Mic guest is Ian Jefferies, president and CEO of the Association of American Railroads.

Jefferies says the industry partnered with agriculture and others in the call for Congress to approve USMCA and is hopeful global trade opportunities will expand.
