Developing countries complained that, “The WTO does not work for addressing the concerns of the poorest and developing countries and we feel cheated.” The WTO is not an aid agency; its goal is to liberalize trade.
The Indo-Pacific trades more with China than the U.S. but typically as net importers from China and net exporters to the U.S.
Europe wants to cut chemical use in agriculture but frequent emergency exemptions for pesticides and now the decision to use antivirals against bird flu reveal Mother Nature's perseverance against our wishes.
1,000’s of years of selective breeding maximized the energy, nutrients, and utility of the Big Four crops relative to the inputs used. Romanticizing other plants with less of these attributes wastes inputs and does not end commodity cycles.
Rather than make TRQ's work and harm its dairy industry, Canada is likely willing to incur U.S. retaliation.
Making the Trade and Technology Council plurilateral is positive; infusing it with organized labor is burdensome politics.
Big Ag needs a Moon Shot. Big Autos have electrification. There's SpaceX/Blue Origin. Earn cred with something…nutrigenomics? alt-meat? Net-zero?
The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and the transatlantic Trade and Technology Council are Potemkin Village replacements for, respectively, the CPTPP and TTIP.
Azevêdo says WTO consensus “very difficult, if not impossible” - India prefers impossible.
New EU-U.S. Collaborative Platform on Agriculture is about friend-shoring the sector.
Bravo to the EU's "solidarity lines" for Ukraine. Mr. Grassley is a persistent nativist. Foreign tax credit at risk in Russia.
