USDA’s Northey: ‘Going to find ways to protect the agriculture sector' from China trade spat

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Undersecretary Northey was on the wires last minutes, via Reuters, commenting on the impact of the US-China trade war fears on the US agriculture sector.

Key Points:

'There's a lot of different options out there' to protect US farmers from trade dispute.

USDA needs to 'see the reaction of what tariffs will be and what the reaction of markets are'.  

"US Dept of Agriculture is 'going to find ways to attempt to hold harmless the agriculture sector' from trade conflict with China".
