U.S. pulls out of the TPP, Michigan farmers concerned

 

President Trump's decision to pull out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has some Michigan farmers worried.

 

Many agricultural groups say trades agreements like the TPP are good for farmers because they prompt foreign countries to buy Michigan's food.

 

Michigan Pork Producers Association CEO Mary Kelpinski says their group hoped the TPP would go through and they had also hoped to work with the Trump administration on an open trade market.

 

Michigan agricultural leaders signed an open letter to President Trump earlier this month, stressing the importance of trade deals to the state's economy.
