US seeks greater access to Canada's dairy market as NAFTA session ends
THE United States ended the fourth session of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) talks with demands that Canada's dairy market be open to US producers, reports Bloomberg.
Canadians say the idea would eliminate its tariffs over 10 years, which limit imports of milk, dairy products, poultry and eggs to "avoid oversupply and guarantee stable pricing and production".
US President Donald Trump has called the system "unfair" to US farmers.
Canada has dismissed the American dairy proposal. Canadians have long rejected changes to it "supply management" system.
Michael Froman, Obama's US Trade Representative, urged people to treat the US demands as opening offers. "It is a negotiation, I don't think one should look at the strength of the proposals themselves and draw any particular conclusion," he said in Washington at the same event.
