Secretary Perdue to Travel to Mexico, Hold Friday Teleconference with U.S. Media
(Washington, D.C., July 26, 2017) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue will travel to Mérida, Mexico, this week as the guest of Mexican Secretary of Agriculture José Calzada Rovirosa. The two leaders will engage in bilateral meetings Thursday and Friday – including a panel discussion with U.S. and Mexican producers, several agricultural site visits, and a joint press conference – seeking to build on the U.S. and Mexico’s well-developed track record of collaboration on agricultural trade issues, and on the personal relationship forged when Perdue hosted Calzada in Savannah, Ga., last month.
Secretary Perdue will conduct an on-the-record teleconference with U.S. media at 10:40 a.m. EDT on Friday, July 28, to discuss the trip. Interested media must RSVP to press@xxxxxxxxxxx by THURSDAY, JULY 27, at 5:00 p.m. EDT in order to receive call-in information.
