WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on President Donald J. Trump signing the “Phase One” trade deal with China today:

“This deal is a major victory for the United States and for North Dakota. It includes China committing to purchase $200 billion of American products over two years, with $40 billion for agricultural goods, while also pledging to stop intellectual property theft and currency manipulation. I thank President Trump for fighting tirelessly to deliver trade deals that are good for North Dakota’s producers and put American interests first.”

Senator Cramer joined fellow lawmakers at the White House today as President Trump signed the deal.
