Finkenauer, who has been endorsed by several labor unions, called on Blum to use the vice president’s visit to lobby against a trade war with China and other nations to which Iowa exports agricultural products.

“Unless Rod Blum is hosting a meeting between the vice president and our soybean and corn farmers and pork producers where they can personally tell the administration how their trade war is devastating to Iowa families, then he’s not doing his job,” Finkenauer said.

The Pence visit comes as concern about Iowa agricultural exports is increasing. Since the president announced tariffs on goods from China, soybean prices have dropped as much as $2 a bushel.
