The dairy industry is praising the move for a formal dispute settlement under USMCA.
Ambassador Katherine Tai is challenging Canada’s allocation of tariff-rate quotas.
Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack released a statement saying: “This is an important step for American agriculture and one that brings the U.S. dairy sector closer to realizing the full benefits of the USMCA. Ambassador Tai’s action today will help ensure that Canada upholds its commitments under the USMCA, and puts our other agriculture trading partners on notice that they must play by the rules.”
