WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Corn Refiners Congratulate President-Elect Trump
CRA President and CEO John Bode issued the following statement regarding the election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America:
“The Corn Refiners Association congratulates President-elect Trump, Vice President-elect Pence and Members elected to the 115th Congress. We salute President-elect Trump’s gracious victory speech and look forward to working with the Trump Administration to build jobs and the better, brighter future a return to stronger economic growth will bring.
America’s corn farmers are the most efficient in the world. A federal government that allows us to produce and sell corn products without excessive regulations or trade barriers would help drive the economic development our president-elect is striving to achieve. We are eager to support his efforts and enthusiastic about the potential for the men and women who work throughout the corn value chain.
