Tai Outlines Trade Priorities to Congress
USAgNet - 05/17/2021
In testimony to the Senate Finance Committee last week, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said the nation is "turning the page on erratic trade policies. USTR's goal is to pursue smarter policies that expand global market opportunities while enforcing
global trade standards and ensuring that trading partners live up to their commitments."
During remarks, Tai indicated her office was still conducting trade negotiations with the U.K. and Kenya. On a possible U.K. trade deal, "there have been five rounds, but very critical areas are still open," she said. Noting that trade isn't on the back burner, she
said there continues to be discussions with both countries.
Farm groups have been engaged in both negotiations and are advocating for the elimination of all tariffs and non-tariff barriers. Meantime, several senators asked about the status of re-engaging on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
