One thing I have to say about the tariffs is that it is focused back on manufacturing jobs, on creating a level playing field with respect to trade. So I think that having the president put the spotlight on the uneven and unfair tariffs that we have with other countries is an important thing.

近日，两组关于农业的数据格外亮眼。 全国绿色、有机、名特优新和地理标志农产品总数达8.6万个，我国农用化肥施用量（折纯）4988万 吨，较2020年下降5%。这些数字，既是农业绿色发展的成绩单，也清晰表明绿色发展已成为农业现代 化的核心驱动力。 农产品"含绿量"持续提升，这是农业绿色转型最直观的成果体现。当下，优质食味稻、专用小麦、高油 高蛋白大豆占比逐年提升，畜禽、水产健康养殖加快推广，优质牛羊肉、水产品供给增加，绿色农产品 在整体农产品中的比重持续提高。以蔬菜为例，农业农村部按季度开展的监测中，水生类、食用菌、芸 薹属类等各类蔬菜合格率大多在99%以上，像水生类蔬菜合格率更是达到100%。这意味着消费者挑选 蔬菜时能更加安心，"吃得安全、吃得健康"不再是一句口号，而是实实在在地成为百姓餐桌的常态。 有收无收在于水，农业用水方式已从用水大户转向节水大户。数据显示，农田灌溉水有效利用系数达到 0.580，亩均实际灌溉用水量减少14立方米，平均每年农田用水总量减少36亿立方米。在山东德州2025 年引黄灌溉用水量较"十三五"年均水平减少了3.5亿立方米，但粮食产量依然保持着"亩产过吨粮、全市 总产过百亿"的好成 ...
