US Farm Bill Sparks NAFTA WTO Fears Across North America
Calvin Daniels analyzes a new five year U S farm bill worth about 289 billion dollars aimed at food nutrition and farm subsidies. He notes Canada’s Gerry Ritz warning the move violates NAFTA and that WTO commitments may be sidelined by U S protectionist policy. He warns of enduring farm support in the United States and a widening gap with Canada as funding cuts bite Canadian grain initiatives. He concludes that NAFTA flaws persist and the WTO deal likely ends up watered down.
