Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and House Ag Committee Chairman Mike Conaway say the negotiations on the North American Free Trade Agreement are not moving fast enough. Nebraska Farm Bureau National Affairs Coordinator Jordan Dux says his group wants negotiators to resolve the deal as soon as possible.
He says NAFTA regulatory updates are needed for technology, sanitary phytosanitary and biotechnology issues and possibly a resolution to dairy.
Dux is hoping more discussion will take place on agricultural issues during the next round of NAFTA talks this week.
Dux thinks if an agreement is reached on NAFTA, it will be the template for future U.S. bilateral trade deals.
