At the Ag Outlook Forum, U.S. Trade Ambassador Katherine Tai briefly touched on trade breakthroughs, but spent more time on the enforcement of existing trade deals. The Mexican ban on biotech corn imports was at the top of that list “and this is why last August the United States established a dispute settlement panel under USMCA to look at this issue.” Tai also spoke about the concern of market access for U.S. dairy products in Canada. “As Trade Representative and as a longtime trade negotiator and trade litigator, Canada dairy is personal for me.” Tai went on to list the ongoing market access issues for U.S. dairy products in Canada dating back to the North American Free Trade Agreement.
