Dairy Continues To Hold Up US, Canada Talks On NAFTA

The U.S. and Canada remain unable to reach agreement on opening up Canada’s dairy markets to American exports, which is delaying a potential NAFTA deal, White House chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Friday.

“The United States would rather have a trade deal with Canada, but it has to be a good deal. And the word that continues to block the deal is M-I-L-K,” Kudlow said on Fox Business.

Kudlow’s comments come as senior U.S. and Canadian officials continued talks on Friday with the aim of reaching a breakthrough before U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is set to jet to Brussels on Monday for a meeting with EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmström.
