Stepien on Tariffs: Lobbyists for the Car Manufacturers Were Unhappy

So the ag industry was quite pleased with the deal. I think that walking into this weekend‘s negotiation with China, it was important to put something on the board not to walk into those negotiations without a. Deal in hand. It was not a big deal if it was even a deal at all. I think it was relatively minor. There was some salesmanship of the deal. But I think it was important to get something done, something on the board. And I‘ll go back to the expectation. Expectation raising that‘s been done has not helped. It‘s only taken away some leverage. And you kind of get what you got from the deal with the U.K."
