U.S. seeks new dispute panel over Canadian dairy imports
The United States on Tuesday said it was seeking a second trade dispute settlement panel over Canada’s dairy import quotas, charging that Canada was still not meeting obligations to open its market to American producers

The U.S. Trade Representative’s office said it was challenging Canada’s revised tariff-rate quota (TRQ) allocations that were put in place last year after a previous dispute panel decision under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade.
USTR said in a statement that Canada was unfairly using a market-share approach for determining quota allocations, and had imposed new conditions that effectively prohibit Canadian retailers, food service operators, and other types of importers from utilizing import quota allocations.
“Tensions over dairy trade ran high even as the USMCA deal was being signed by then-president Donald Trump”
