SMITHTON, Penn. — The Protecting America Initiative (PAI) will host Special Guest President Donald J. Trump and Pennsylvanians who are concerned by the threat of Communist China to U.S. agriculture at an event in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

The event will be hosted by the Protecting America Initiative senior advisors: former Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell and former U.S. Representative Lee Zeldin. The discussion will focus on the Chinese Communist Party’s growing threat to America’s food supply and how to help our agriculture community combat this threat.

During his administration, President Trump negotiated the ground-breaking USMCA trade deal that replaced NAFTA and put America’s farmers first. The USMCA provided new market access for all U.S. agricultural products, a fair non-discriminatory pricing plan, and improved grading standards for all products. It has been reported that the USMCA trade deal led to $2 billion in annual increases for the U.S. in agricultural exports to Canada and Mexico, with an overall increase of $65 billion in gross domestic product for farmers and ranchers. At the time, then-Senator Harris voted against President Trump’s USMCA trade deal, voting against putting America’s farmers first. Overall, Harris has been weak on China throughout her entire career, including opposing President Trump’s tariffs against China.

The Protecting America Initiative is a nonprofit organization focused on safeguarding the U.S. and state governments from Communist China’s growing influence in the states.
