In the last 12 months, I held a bilateral meeting with United States Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack as well as engaging in other communications with Secretary Vilsack.

Our bilateral focussed on trade issues, a discussion on Brexit and the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol as well as other issues relating to Irish and US agriculture policies.

Later this month, I will lead a Bord Bia trade mission to the United States where I am scheduled to have a meeting with Secretary Vilsack.
