USDA trade and foreign agricultural affairs nominee Greg Ibach told the Senate Agriculture Committee he would seek to restore relationships with Canada and remove trade barriers affecting U.S. agriculture. The hearing also addressed USMCA uncertainty, agricultural credit challenges, and existing reciprocal U.S.-Canada tariffs on dairy products, alcohol, and steel.
Improved U.S.-Canada trade relations could reduce barriers and support agricultural export demand, while unresolved tariffs and USMCA uncertainty keep trade risks in place. No specific change to agricultural market access was announced.
