United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai met with trade officials from both Canada and Mexico this week to talk about implementation of the USMCA trade deal and how its working for all three countries. National Milk Producers Federation Senior Vice President of Trade Policy Shawna Morris says the U.S. remains in a dispute with Canada over how their handling their obligations for dairy under USMCA.
She says even though Canada has a different dairy policy they follow, they still must be held accountable and live up to what they agreed to with USMCA.
Morris says it’s encouraging that the USTR met with the Canadians and Mexicans and discussed the USMCA and compliance rules with that deal.
Morris says both Canada and Mexico are important trade destinations for U.S. dairy products.
