(London, U.K., May 12, 2025) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins concluded her first day in the United Kingdom during her trade delegation visit. This visit comes after President Donald J. Trump announced last week, on the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe, a historic U.K. trade deal that will lower tariffs, remove trade barriers, increase market access, and strengthen cooperation on economic security.
“American agriculture is the ‘crown jewel’ of our country’s exports to global markets. Today, I discussed with government officials, including U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. Warren Stephens, Secretary of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Rt. Hon. Steve Reed, and Secretary for the Department of Business and Trade Rt. Hon. Jonathan Reynolds, ways we can increase our exports with a country we already have such strong cultural and political ties with. President Trump is putting American Farmers First and that’s why I am in the U.K. working to secure additional access for agricultural products,” said Secretary Rollins.
