Negotiators from the European Union (EU) and Japan are working to seal a trade deal that would lower tariffs on EU pork to levels discussed in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to travel to Brussels in July to meet with EU negotiators, including European Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstr?m. The National Pork Producers Council continues to urge the Trump administration to initiate bilateral trade negotiations with Japan, the world?s third-biggest economy.
