The U.S. Senate has confirmed Alexis Taylor as USDA’s Under Secretary of Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs.
The Wednesday vote is drawing positive reactions from the agriculture community. Dan Halstrom with the U.S. Meat Export Federation says the Undersecretary position is a key position for developing new markets, and Taylor has experience. “We’re very excited as we have experience with Ms. Taylor from her stint in the Foreign Ag Service in her prior life, in regulatory programs, we had experience with her in several of the foreign markets so we look forward to expanding that in her new role.”
