Jerry Brown, USDEC |
From Krysta Harden, President & CEO of USDEC:
“We congratulate Jamieson Greer on his new role as U.S. Trade Representative. Mr. Greer is a champion for American farmers and workers and will bring strong leadership to this critical agency.
U.S. dairy exporters face a number of challenges in working to meet global demand for the high-quality products they produce.
From Canadian evasion of USMCA dairy commitments, to gaping dairy trade deficits with the European Union due to asymmetrical opportunities, and from baseless nontariff barriers to trade, to growing tariff disadvantages in key markets—the opportunities to make headway in support of American dairy farmers and manufacturers are plentiful. We look forward to working with Ambassador Greer and his team at USTR to tackle these challenges. Through a proactive trade agenda, we can ensure that U.S. trade policies benefit U.S. farmers and exporters.”
