Grassley, Crapo Praise Trump Enforcement of USMCA Dairy Access Provisions
Washington – Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley
(R-Iowa) and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) today
issued the following statement after the U.S. Trade Representative announced
that the United States would initiate enforcement action for Canada’s failure
to implement dairy market access provisions of the USMCA.
“The Trump administration is taking
the right step for American dairy producers and farmers. One of the biggest
improvements in the new USMCA are the provisions providing access to Canada’s
dairy market, which had unfairly restricted equitable access to American dairy
for years. We hope our Canadian partners can resolve this issue without going
to arbitration, but we are supportive of Ambassador Lighthizer’s efforts either
way.”
