U.S. Dairy groups commend administration, Congress as USMCA enters into force
USMCA is designed to usher in significant changes to U.S.-Canadian dairy trade, restore certainty to U.S.-Mexico trade relations and establish important protections for common name cheeses.
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), both based in Arlington, Va., are celebrating the U.S. Trade Representative’s office and Congress for the strides made in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) as it enters into force today. At the same time, the dairy organizations also noted that harvesting the full benefit of those hard-fought wins now relies on robust enforcement of the agreement.
The modernized trade deal is a testament to the tremendous bipartisan effort from both the administration and members of Congress to improve trade rules, NMPF and USDEC said. USMCA is designed to usher in significant changes to U.S.-Canadian dairy trade, restore certainty to U.S.-Mexico trade relations and establish important protections for common name cheeses.
