There’s concern among lawmakers that Canada is not adhering to some of the dairy provisions in the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement.
Minnesota U.S. Senator Tina Smith tells Brownfield she’s working on a bipartisan letter that will ask Ag Secretary Perdue and Trade Ambassador Lighthizer to look into the issue.
“It’s really important that those dairy provisions get enforced correctly, and I’ve been hearing about this from Minnesota dairy farmers and just want people to know I’m paying close attention to that.”
She points out passage of USMCA hinged on the belief it had strong enforcement mechanisms.
