The next round of the North American Free Trade Agreement talks get underway in Mexico City tomorrow (Friday). National Association of Egg Farmers President Ken Klippen says he’s pleased President Trump is holding trading partners to equal standards. He says that’s needed in any redo of NAFTA.
He says U.S. poultry and egg producers are getting lower prices for their product going to Canada while Canada is getting a better deal on their eggs going to the U.S.
Klippen says it’s positive U.S. trade officials are taking a tougher stance with our foreign customers in order to achieve a level playing field.
Informal NAFTA discussions got underway earlier this week but the ag issues aren’t scheduled until the official discussions on Friday.
