The US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, has highlighted the government's efforts to expand the reach of American agricultural products in new markets due to trade challenges, especially with China. She pointed out Brazil and Argentina as countries increasing grain and meat supplies to China, leading to a decrease in US exports, especially pork and soybeans. Rollins accused Brazil, Argentina, and the UK of using unfair trade practices against US agricultural products.

She also mentioned a new plan to control inflation in the egg market, following a significant price drop, and suggested that the government may implement emergency support for producers affected by the trade dispute with China.
