Moran promised continued engagement with the administration on Kansas trade policy impacts. The evidence shows he raised Kansas-specific tariff concerns with USTR, and the administration then exempted rock salt from Canadian import tariffs during his current Senate term. Because the promised action was engagement rather than enactment of a broader trade package, this is sufficient for delivery in the same term.
