The World Trade Organization will soon set the amount of retaliation Canada and Mexico will be allowed to seek against the United States in the Country of Origin Labeling case. Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s John Masswohl says those numbers will be released the second week of December. However, he’s hoping the U.S. Congress will repeal the trade distorting COOL law and retaliation won’t be needed.

He’d like to see the U.S. Senate just follow the House and repeal COOL verses trying to develop a voluntary labeling program.

Masswohl says imposing tariffs against U.S. imports is Canada’s least desirable option.

Canada is seeking around $3 Billion in retaliatory damages while U.S officials say the number should be less than $100 million.
