A trade group that represents firms that import Mexican produce fired back at a Florida delegation that had asked the U.S. trade representative to initiate an investigation against Mexican growers under Section 301 (see 2209090052).
All but five of Florida's 27 members of the House of Representatives and both Senators are asking U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai to initiate a Section 301 investigation on Mexican exports of fruits and vegetables.
The Court of International Trade in a Sept. 7 paperless order instructed the plaintiff, Environment One, in a case over a denied Section 301 exclusion request to file a supplemental brief over whether a recent U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision is relevant to the current action (Environment One Corporation v. United States, CIT #22-00124).
It’s “absolutely” possible to have a “real” trade negotiation with China, said U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai Wednesday on a Carnegie Endowment webinar. What the U.S. really wants from China is for its economy “to operate like ours, and along the assumptions and the norms that we feel are embodied in organizations like the World Trade Organization,” said Tai. “The Chinese have pursued a model that is different from ours.” Until China “chooses a path to have its economy operate more like ours, I think we see that we need to have more effective tools in ensuring that we can continue to compete,” she said. She said those tools include “a combination” of the Section 301 tariffs that are in place, plus making investments in “American competitiveness,” she said.
