U.S. Trade Representative to expand Canadian dairy trade dispute

The U.S. is taking further action against Canada for its dairy trade practices.  U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai requested new dispute settlement consultations with Canada under the United States – Mexico – Canada Agreement regarding Canada’s dairy tariff-rate quota (TRQ) allocation measures.

Alan Bjerga with National Milk Producers Federation applauds the move, saying Canada has only issued Tariff Rate Quotas to Canadian processors who have no need for U.S. dairy products, essentially leaving the market closed to imports.
