The former Chief Ag Negotiator for the US Trade Representative says China still presents a lot of opportunities for US agriculture.
But, Darci Vetter told attendees of the US Meat Export Federation’s Virtual Spring Conference the Biden administration needs to decide what path it wants to take on the trading relationship. “Whether we’re going to carve out a separate trade path with China,” she says. “Or whether we are going to fully reengage with China where trade is one tract of a broader discussion about what our relationship is going to be.”
She says the Phase 1 Trade Deal has greatly benefited the meat sector.
