The head of the National Milk Producers Federation says a change in administration is unlikely to disrupt the U.S. Trade Representative’s investigation into Canada upholding its dairy provisions within the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement.
Jim Mulhern tells Brownfield the USMCA did make progress on some market access and subsidy policies with Canada, but early actions limiting tariff rate quotas don’t uphold the spirt of the agreement.
“We’re confident that these are the kinds of issues that do get handed off from one administration to the next and I think it will be a seamless transition,” he says.
