Top U.S. trade negotiator Jamieson Greer said Canada must change a number of its policies including in the dairy sector if it wants the United States to commit to a long-term renewal of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
In a portion of his closed-door remarks to members of Congress that were released to the public Dec. 17, Greer said that a “rubberstamp” of USMCA at next year’s July 1 joint review is not in the American “national interest” unless Canada changes its dairy supply management system, digital streaming rules, and provincial import bans on U.S. alcohol.
