U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai discussed the complicated relationship between the U.S. and China during the final day of the USDA’s Ag Outlook Forum. “China is a rival, a competitor, but it also is a partner in areas where we can establish that kind of trust.” China fell short of agricultural and non-agricultural purchase agreements with the United States. Tai said the USTR is going to hold China accountable, but these haven’t been easy conversations. In fact, Tai said the conversations are getting more difficult. “That doesn’t change the overall aspects of this trade relationship, which is profoundly consequential, but also extremely difficult and getting more difficult.”
