An American pork industry group has reached out to Canadian officials regarding the ongoing trade war between the two border countries.
A March 21 letter from the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) to the Ministry of Finance asks Canada to spare U.S. pork from any potential retaliatory tariffs it may impose on American goods.
“While we understand the impulse to impose tariffs on U.S. goods in response to unjustified U.S. tariffs, such duties likely would rupture the integrated supply chain that has been so beneficial to our two countries, especially since the creation of NAFTA,” the letter says.
