Evidence

Buchanan and Senator Ashley Moody led a bipartisan letter urging the administration to protect Florida farmers and to negotiate temporary tariff-rate quotas for fruits and vegetables as part of the USMCA Joint Review. The letter says they "stand ready to work with your Administration to achieve the trade measures our Florida industry critically needs."

Concrete lobbying effort toward the claim: Buchanan formally pressed the administration for targeted trade measures protecting Florida produce growers.

At the April 22 House Ways and Means hearing on the Trump Administration's 2026 Trade Policy Agenda, Buchanan questioned USTR Jamieson Greer about trade fairness and market access, saying the U.S. needs to continue moving toward a win-win trade posture for farmers and other producers. The page says he was building on a shared commitment to protecting Florida's growers.

Buchanan continued direct engagement with the administration on trade policy affecting Florida growers, but the page does not show a finalized trade measure being adopted.

never same_term A for effort

Buchanan took concrete same-term steps toward the promise, including leading a letter to the administration seeking tariff-rate quotas and questioning USTR Greer about trade measures for Florida growers. However, the evidence shows advocacy and engagement, not adoption or implementation of trade measures that protected Florida fruit and vegetable growers. Because the promised outcome was not achieved despite a serious attempt, this is not delivered.
