"Deals are being negotiated right now," Rollins stated to reporters at the White House. "Next week, I'll be in England discussing these things. A few weeks after, I'll be in Italy, then soon after that, Vietnam, Japan and India."
Rollins emphasized that her upcoming travel reflects a broader Cabinet initiative under President Trump's administration to expand global markets for American products. "I'm reflective of a larger Cabinet effort on behalf of this president to get out into the world to expand the markets," she said.
Her announcement comes on the heels of the second round of tariff negotiations between Japan and the United States, which took place in Washington last week. Japan's chief tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, along with other Cabinet members, agreed to conduct intensive ministerial discussions starting from mid-May, with the goal of reaching a "mutually beneficial deal" as early as June.
Since taking office in February 2025 after being confirmed by the Senate in a 72-28 vote, Rollins has implemented significant changes at the USDA. In one of her first major actions as Secretary, she terminated 78 contracts totaling more than $132 million and placed over 1,000 additional contracts under review for potential termination. These moves were part of her pledge to bring greater efficiency to the department and better serve American farmers and ranchers.
Rollins, who was a surprise pick when then-President-elect Trump nominated her in November 2024, has positioned herself as a representative of rural America within the administration. Industry observers have noted that her appointment came at a critical time for the agricultural sector, which faces challenges including Farm Bill funding, labor shortages, and international trade tensions.
As the first female Secretary of Agriculture in Trump's cabinet, Rollins brings a unique perspective to the role, having grown up in the agricultural industry. Her appointment was part of a trend that has brought more representatives from rural America into high-level positions in the current administration.
The Secretary's upcoming international tour signals the administration's focus on agricultural trade as a priority in foreign policy, particularly as global food security concerns continue to affect markets worldwide.
