Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins declared a “new day” for America under President Donald Trump’s leadership, vowing to fight global economic systems that she claims have exploited American workers for decades. Her fiery remarks came during an exclusive Breitbart News event where she outlined the administration’s America First trade agenda, positioning farmers and ranchers at the forefront of this economic revolution.
Rollins blasted foreign nations like Argentina and the UK for imposing unfair tariffs on U.S. agricultural goods, calling it “astounding” how foreign markets have blocked American products. She praised Trump’s use of tariffs as negotiating tools to dismantle what she described as a corrupt global trade regime rigged against everyday Americans. The secretary emphasized that rural communities would no longer be left behind by elitist policies favoring foreign interests.
A longtime Trump ally, Rollins helped craft the former president’s America First agenda during his first term and now leads efforts to revive small-town economies through agricultural independence. She previously headed the America First Policy Institute, where she fought against Biden’s radical spending plans and championed election integrity lawsuits. Her nomination as agriculture secretary earned unanimous Republican support and key endorsements from farming and manufacturing groups.
Rollins slammed decades of failed leadership that allowed other countries to disadvantage U.S. farmers through hidden trade barriers and bureaucratic red tape. She credited Trump with having the courage to confront foreign governments directly, ensuring American beef, crops, and goods receive fair treatment worldwide. “We’re done asking nicely,” she stated, framing the administration’s tactics as vital to national sovereignty.
The secretary revealed that stepping into her role exposed shocking levels of global hostility toward American agriculture, fueling her determination to overhaul trade deals. She vowed to prioritize domestic food production over reliance on foreign suppliers, linking economic patriotism to national security. Rollins argued that strengthening rural America secures the nation’s future against China and other adversaries.
Conservative leaders celebrated Rollins’ appointment as a critical step toward reversing what they call the Biden administration’s “war on farmers.” They point to her record of slashing regulations and promoting energy independence as proof she’ll protect heartland values from coastal elites. Her focus on battling “woke” climate policies threatening farmland has energized grassroots activists ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Rollins closed with an emotional call for unity among patriots, urging Americans to reject globalist lies that undermine U.S. prosperity. She framed the upcoming trade battles as a defining moment for preserving the nation’s character and ensuring future generations inherit a self-sufficient America. The secretary’s message resonated strongly with attendees, who greeted her remarks with chants of “USA! USA!”
This bold America First vision continues galvanizing Trump’s base, positioning agriculture policy as a central front in the culture wars. With Rollins leading the charge, conservatives believe rural communities will finally reclaim their rightful place as the backbone of American greatness. The fight for economic independence, she insists, is just beginning.
