MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The National Cotton Council appreciates the trade progress achieved by President Trump this weekend. We are encouraged by reports of a framework for an agreement with Vietnam and future purchase commitments of U.S. agricultural goods by China.
In recent months, shipments of U.S. cotton to China are down by 95% from the 2020-2023 period. As talks with China move forward, we urge the Trump administration to secure meaningful purchase commitments for U.S. cotton.
