Big Win for Dairy Farmers after Bipartisan Push Against Unfair Trade Practices

Statement

On National Milk Day, U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, lauded a major victory for U.S. dairy farmers after joining with U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-Minnesota) to spearhead congressional efforts to hold Canada accountable for violations of a key trade agreement.

"Enforcing our trade agreements to open dairy markets with our trading partners will feed our neighbors and create jobs at home," said Crapo. "This is a huge victory in tearing down further barriers for Idaho's and the nation's dairies. This decision will further unlock the promises of the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA) and meet the needs of our 21st Century producers."
