EU and Trump Agreement: Lobster Zero Tariff Hides Import Barriers for Beef and Chicken
The European Union recently reached a trade agreement with the United States allowing lobster products to be imported without tariffs; however, it imposes restrictions on beef and chicken imports. This agreement raises questions about whether President Trump has been trapped in trade negotiations.
According to the agreement, the EU’s zero tariff policy on lobster will benefit American producers, but the accompanying strict limits on other meat products suggest that Trump’s trade strategy may not be achieving its intended outcomes.
