Agriculture Roundup for Friday May 6, 2022
MELFORT, Sask. — Trade Minister Mary Ng and U.S. counterpart Katherine Tai say they are forging closer trade ties between their two countries, in spite of lingering irritants.
Tai said while the two countries clearly have trade differences, their interests are closely aligned in the context of competing with the rest of the world.
She also said Biden’s Buy American doctrine represents a federal procurement policy that shouldn’t be seen as a barrier to international trade.
Ng said she’s looking forward to showing her counterpart a GM facility today in Markham, Ont., where they will see integrated Canada-U.S. supply chains in action.
