U.S. Feels 'Betrayed' Over Dairy Deal, Warning of Potential Resurgence
Source: The DairyNews
Former U.S. Department of Agriculture undersecretary, Ted McKinney, is cautioning Canadian farmers about a potential revival of the dairy dispute between the U.S. and Canada.
Speaking at an event in Ottawa, McKinney expressed the feeling of betrayal among American officials and agriculture groups, accusing Canada of failing to provide the agreed-upon access for American dairy products. The dispute, originating from the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, has raised concerns among Canada's crop farmers, fearing they could be implicated in the conflict.
The Grain Growers of Canada emphasizes worries that other parts of agriculture may become bargaining chips if supply management is excluded from trade talks.
Despite past dispute resolution panels, McKinney urges both countries to continue dialogue and work towards a resolution to avoid jeopardizing broader trade relations.
