USDA Deputy Secretary Steve Censky says the USMCA signing is big because
of its updating of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), especially where
Canada is concerned.
“Canada still had some barriers to a number of our products, dairy, poultry,
eggs, wheat,” Censky told Brownfield Ag News Wednesday, “and we now will be
able to have much improved access.”
Some cattlemen’s groups are unhappy with the USMCA for the same reasons they’ve
been unhappy with NAFTA, that it doesn’t include country of origin labeling
provisions for imported meat.
