In March, a letter from the National Pork Producers Council to Canada’s ministry of finance asked Canada to spare U.S. pork from any 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.
