Statement: Durbin Discusses Illinois Agriculture With U.S. Ambassador To China Terry Brandstad
Social Media: Tweet - "While China must be accountable for unfair trade practices, the President's trade war has seriously hurt farmers. In our meeting today, I spoke w/U.S. Amb. to China Brandstad about recommitting to our farmers & providing the certainty they need to rebound from a difficult 2019."
01/13/2020
Social Media: Tweet - "Yesterday I joined @ILAFLCIO and @ILFarmBureau at @BRANDT_co in Springfield to discuss the USMCA trade agreement. Important changes make it better for Illinois farmers, manufacturers, & workers while strengthening labor protections and fair treatment of U.S. products."
01/08/2020
Statement: Durbin Announces Support For USMCA Trade Deal
Floor Speech: Executive Calendar
Social Media: Tweet - "Proud to announce my support for the USMCA trade agreement. It's not perfect, but it's a step forward & I'm glad it is bipartisan. Mexico & Canada are Illinois' top trading partners--especially for agriculture. The USMCA will extend that already productive relationship."
12/05/2019
Social Media: Tweet - "Illinois farmers have faced one of the toughest years in memory, partly due to weather beyond their control, but also because of President Trump's trade games with China. Farmers need certainty, not uncertainty, with such an important market."
11/26/2019
Social Media: Tweet - "I urge Pres. Trump to immediately sign the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act. We must send a clear and strong message that the entire U.S. government supports the democratic ambitions of the people of Hong Kong. This must not become a bargaining chip in trade negotiations."
11/25/2019
Social Media: Tweet - "The President's failed trade war is crushing soybean farmers in Illinois. And yet the Trump Admin. is giving cotton farmers in the south - who have experienced far less losses by comparison - up to twice as much in trade aid. Is @USDA playing it straight?"
