Amid the steady parade of Democratic presidential contenders streaming through Iowa -- the country's first battleground in the presidential election -- there was another, more unusual visitor there on Monday: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
"I do think maybe they're tending the store," Craig Robinson, editor of The Iowa Republican told the Washington Examiner."It calms the fears down because you do have Democrats in the state, left and right now, talking about how bad Trump's trade policies are for Iowa farmers, so I think this is to combat that and to help make sure that he keeps that rural support he's enjoyed in the state.
Trying to rally support for the president's fight, Pompeo argued those other issues are key to protecting the agricultural industry too and in the long-run will secure a level playing field for all American businesses. Optimistic that a deal with China could be reached soon, he said the biggest sticking point still is finding a way to make any agreement enforceable:"We're trying to make original mistakes, not repeat the past ones. We're trying to make sure we don't fall for the same trap that American trade negotiators have done so many times."
While regulations incur short-term costs, the Government Accountability Office issued a report in late 2017 that found not dealing with climate change will impose increasingly higher costs on the U.S. government, from premature deaths due to extreme temperatures to damage from more powerful storms.
