Japan approves its beef safeguard under trade agreement; reduce tariffs, increase demand

Japan has approved its revised safeguard on US beef, which could prevent higher tariffs and increase demand.

The Upper House of Japan’s Diet approved the Protocol Amending the US-Japan Trade Agreement Tuesday after it was signed with the US Trade Representative in June.
