Kent Bacus, Director of International Trade and Market Access for the
National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, today issued the following
statement regarding the announcement that China has included
American-produced beef on a list of proposed retaliatory tariffs:
“It is unsettling to see American-produced beef listed as a target
for retaliation. Sadly, we are not surprised, as this is an inevitable
outcome of any trade war. This is a battle between two governments, and
the unfortunate casualties will be America’s cattlemen and women and our
consumers in China. The Trump Administration has until the end of May
to resolve this issue. We believe in trade enforcement, but endless
retaliation is not a good path forward for either side.”
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
