Montana's Congressman, Denny Rehberg, released the following statement following reports that Taiwan has once again restricted the importation of American beef. After years of extensive negotiations, the ban on U.S beef was completely lifted in 2009.
"Montanans know that our beef is safe. More importantly, the Taiwanese government knows that our beef is safe. It's time to tear down unjustified trade barriers that threaten a staple of Montana's economy. I will work with the Taiwanese government, on behalf of Montana producers, to open this market once and for all."
