Senators call on Russia to honor chicken agreement
The senators expressed their concern on Russia’s failure to honor its agreement with the United States allowing poultry imports back into the country. An agreement to resume poultry exports hit a last-minute snag in early August, when Russia added a demand to send inspectors to verify that the U.S. poultry plants met the agreement’s protocols.
"These actions are a setback to our countries' trade relations. We ask you to honor the commitment our two presidents made less than two months ago and implement the agreement without further delay," they wrote.
