Biden extends reciprocal agricultural trade terms for Israel through end of next year
CHRISTIANSTED, St. Croix – US President Joe Biden has extended duty-free reciprocal trade terms and concessions for Israel on specified quantities of certain agricultural products for one year to December 31, 2024, the White House says today.
In a proclamation signed by Biden while vacationing in St. Croix, the US president says the extension will allow additional time for the two governments to conclude an agreement to replace a trade deal that dates back to 2004.
