WASHINGTON — A group of bipartisan U.S. senators, led by Senate Chicken Caucus Co-Chairmen Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), have expressed concern regarding trade restrictions on U.S. chicken products by several countries participating in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade talks.
TPP is a proposed trade agreement currently under negotiation by Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam.
In a letter sent Jan. 14, 11 senators urged U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to do everything possible. . .
