The North American Meat Institute has issued a statement concerning the Trump Administration’s announcement of tariffs on Chinese imports. The statement from NAMI President and CEO Barry Carpenter reads as follows:
“The Meat Institute commends the Trump Administration’s efforts to promote fairer, more open and transparent trade with China, but we are concerned that the tariffs on Chinese imports announced today will serve only to undermine our access to the Chinese market and risk escalation of a trade war.
