Trade Wars Cease As U.S. Beef Exports Resume
The ongoing U.S.–China trade war eased this week following a new 90-day tariff reduction agreement.
Under the agreement, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will drop from 145% to 30%, while China’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, including meat, will fall from 125% to 10%. The reductions officially took effect on Wednesday, May 14th.
In addition, the U.S. and United Kingdom governments announced an “agreement in principle” Thursday for a trade deal that promises to lift beef exports.
The outline includes cuts to recently hiked U.S. tariffs on British cars, steel and aluminum, while the U.K. would slash tariffs on 2,500 U.S. products to a reported average tariff rate 1.8%. On the beef side, sales to the U.K. were worth $32 million last year.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke called the announcement “a historic deal with the UK that secures increased access for American agricultural products, including unprecedented access for American beef and ethanol.
