The Biden Administration is taking a different approach to trade. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Baucus says the White House is not negotiating traditional trade agreements involving market access provisions to remove tariffs. “Instead, they’re called dialogues and initiative frameworks where they’re trying to identify non-tariff barriers and some technical barriers to trade,” said Baucus. “In trade nerd speak, that means they’re looking for big segments of market access where they don’t have to deal with tariffs.” Baucus says removing non-tariff trade barriers is important, but so is full market access.
