爱荷华州国会代表团致信特朗普政府：要求保护对墨西哥猪肉出口
以联邦参议员 Chuck Grassley 为首的爱荷华州国会代表团近日致信商务部长 Howard Lutnick 与美国贸易代表 Jamieson Greer，要求特朗普政府在与墨西哥的贸易谈判中考虑对农民和消费者的影响，保护猪肉出口市场。联邦参议员 Joni Ernst 及联邦众议员 Mariannette Miller-Meeks、Ashley Hinson、Zach Nunn、Randy Feenstra 共同联署。
议员们在信中写道，爱荷华州是全美第一大猪肉生产州，美国每年向墨西哥出口逾100万吨猪肉，2025年对墨猪肉出口额逾28.5亿美元，在美墨加协定（USMCA）实施六年间翻了一番多。墨西哥2025年购买了逾18亿美元的爱荷华州猪肉，是该行业最大的出口目的地。
这封信的背景是，美国于2025年7月终止美墨番茄中止协议，墨西哥国际商业惯例部门随后于2025年12月对美国猪肉产业启动反倾销调查。议员们警告，来自第一大出口市场的报复威胁，正给本已面临加州12号提案等国内监管逆风的猪肉产业带来寒蝉效应；番茄协议终止后，番茄价格已上涨近7%。全国猪肉生产者委员会支持这一呼吁，要求达成维护美墨稳定贸易关系的解决方案。
Iowa Congressional Delegation Writes to Trump Administration: Protect Pork Exports to Mexico
Iowa's congressional delegation, led by U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, has written to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, urging the Trump administration to consider the impact on farmers and consumers in its trade negotiations with Mexico and to protect the pork export market. Senator Joni Ernst and Representatives Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Ashley Hinson, Zach Nunn and Randy Feenstra joined the letter.
The lawmakers wrote that Iowa is the nation's number one pork producing state, that over one million metric tons of U.S. pork is exported to Mexico annually, and that U.S. pork exports to Mexico totaled over $2.85 billion in 2025 alone, a figure that has more than doubled in the six years under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Mexico purchased more than $1.8 billion worth of Iowa pork in 2025, making it the industry's largest export destination.
The letter follows the U.S. termination of the U.S.-Mexico Tomato Suspension Agreement in July 2025, after which Mexico's International Commercial Practices Unit launched an antidumping investigation into the American pork industry in December 2025. The lawmakers warned that the threat of retaliation from the number one export market creates a chilling effect on a pork industry already facing domestic headwinds from state regulations such as California's Proposition 12, and noted that tomato prices have risen nearly 7% since the agreement ended. The National Pork Producers Council backed the effort, calling for a resolution that preserves a stable U.S.-Mexico trading relationship.
