Des Moines Register: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said today that ending the U.S. trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, the state’s top export markets, would have “devastating” effects on the state’s farmers and manufacturers. “I’ve said I’m OK with modernizing NAFTA,” Reynolds said during her weekly press conference. “It’s a 25-year-old-plus trade agreement, so that makes sense. But I am not in favor of withdrawing. The impact that that would have on our state … would be devastating.”
