Members of the meat industry applauded the Phase One trade deal with China, a vital and growing market for the meat and poultry industry. President Trump and Vice Premier Liu signed the agreement in a ceremony at the White House on January 15.
“We are encouraged by the Phase One deal with China, which eliminates non-tariff barriers to trade with our fastest growing market for meat and poultry products. We will continue to work with the Trump Administration to negotiate greater access to Chinese markets,” said Meat Institute President and CEO Julie Anna Potts. “It remains vital to address retaliatory tariff issues, which have made it difficult to export to China.”
