Trump indicated he’s thinking about buying US farm products and distribute to poor countries, as a way to help farmers affected by trade war with China. But such simplistic, shallow way of thinking immediately drew criticism from Canada.
Canadian Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said yesterday that “dumping products in developing countries is not the way we do things.”
She added, “it seems easy, but it is complicated to do it the right way”. The process will need multilateral coordination. And, “obviously, it may create some distortion in the market and this is what we want to avoid.”
