Additionally, Ricketts described the President's actions as a move to bring back jobs from overseas and strengthen U.S. supply chains. He also highlighted efforts to expand markets for American agricultural products, noting the administration's stance against exploitative practices by foreign nations, particularly mentioning China: "He is demonstrating to foreign adversaries like China that we will no longer be taken advantage of."
