WASHINGTON _ A senior American lawmaker is pressing for changes that would open up Canada’s dairy market _ and he wants them in place before his country agrees to any new NAFTA deal.
Senior Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer has sent a letter on the issue to U.S. trade czar Robert Lighthizer.
Schumer says opening up the dairy market north of the border must be a top priority, and he’s urging the U.S. team to seize a rare opportunity to lower what he calls Canada’s dairy wall.
Schumer isn’t the only leading legislator for whom it is a priority; the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, is from the dairy-producing state of Wisconsin and also considers it a key issue.
Under U.S. law, American trade negotiators must consult with Congress, and will eventually need congressional votes to ratify a new deal.
Some people have suggested the countries could be weeks away from some sort of preliminary agreement on NAFTA, but others warn that serious issues like dairy remain unresolved.
