Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump named 64 agriculture policy advisers on Aug. 15, including Arthur Gen “A.G.” Kawamura, a former California Secretary of Food and Agriculture.
“The members of my agricultural advisory committee represent the best that America can offer to help serve agricultural communities,” Trump said in a statement.
Kawamura, of Japanese descent, said in an interview that committee members have already talked via telephone to outline some of the issues they expect to tackle. They range from immigration and climate change to global trade and “how to define food and energy security for the U.S. in the years ahead,” said Kawamura.
