Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today issued the following statement on the administration\u2019s announcement that the U.S. has reached a two-year trade agreement with Mexico.\n\n\u201cAs South Dakota\u2019s top two export markets, maintaining strong trade relationships with Mexico and Canada is vitally important. Today\u2019s announcement that a two-year trade deal has been reached with Mexico is a step in the right direction, but we still have a long way to go to provide long-term trade stability for our producers and manufacturers. I\u2019m pleased the administration continues to work on long-term trade negotiations on behalf of our producers.\u201d\n\nBACKGROUND: Mexico is South Dakota\u2019s number two export market, after Canada, and has a long history of being one of our most important trading partners. Last year Mexico was the largest market for U.S. corn and soymeal, second largest market for U.S. soybeans and third largest market for U.S. beef.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-27T23:04:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.rounds.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/rounds-statement-on-proposed-trade-agreement-with-mexico"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3540599029511213, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
