Brian Duncan, Vice President of the Illinois Farm Bureau, Zach Mottl, Chief Alignment Officer of Atlas Tool Works, and Peter Roskam, former U.S. Congressman and current IOP Pritzker Fellow, had a panel discussion on the short – and long-term dynamics of the Trump administration’s trade policies, particularly as they affect Illinois. They discussed the current tensions of farmers and factories, the two aid packages announced by the White House, how these policies impact politicians in areas heavily populated by these industries. This conversation was moderated by PJ Huffstutter, agriculture reporter for Reuters News.
