Kansas and Canada Speak about Trade Issues
Kansas Ag Connection - 03/21/2018
Governor Colyer spoke by phone with David MacNaughton, the Canadian Ambassador to the United States. Following the conversation, the Governor released the following statement:
"The Ambassador and I had a productive conversation about the strategic partnership between Canada and Kansas, our shared interest in free trade and how that relationship benefits both of our economies," Colyer said. "I reiterated the importance of good
faith NAFTA negotiations and encouraged Canada to earnestly engage in modernization talks as we work to protect free trade for Kansas, the U.S., and Canada."
Colyer also highlighted the mutual benefits of the relationship between Kansas and Canada. Canada is Kansas' second largest international customer with exports totaling $1.8 billion, 17% of which are from agriculture. In addition to agriculture, NAFTA also
impacts Kansas jobs in the manufacturing, oil and gas, and service industries with a total of 120,000 jobs supported by the agreement.
