U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai answered questions from the House Ways and Means Committee this past week about holding trade partners accountable for implementing trade agreements. This includes the way Canada handled dairy market access in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. “This has been a long-standing issue between our economies. I think there was a clear understanding on our side that dairy market access would be improved under the USMCA,” said Tai. “We haven’t seen that. From a USTR perspective, we will not give up. We’ll continue to work with stakeholders and absolutely respect the aspirations of our dairy farmers, including our strategy of where we go next.” Tai also testified on trade in the Senate Finance Committee.
