U.S. senators call for trade crackdown on Canada over dairy quotas, digital policies
Two U.S. senators are calling on the Biden administration to get tough with Canada and Mexico over what they describe as the two countries “flouting” their obligations under North America’s three-year-old trade agreement.
“Three years later, it is disappointing that Canada and Mexico have failed to come into full compliance with the agreement — and, in some cases, have flouted their obligations,” the senators write. A panel of arbitrators has already sided with the U.S. on the dairy issue, although Canada treated that finding as a validation of the supply management system that regulates the way dairy products are produced and sold.
“Let’s remember the hard work that farmers do to feed families in Canada and throughout the world. We will always stand with them.” The digital services tax, an effort to ensure tech giants pay their fair share of taxes in countries where they earn revenue without a physical presence, would only take effect next year if a new multilateral tax framework doesn’t take shape by then.
