Congress repealed mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef and pork in 2015 after a WTO fight with Canada and Mexico.

Who was the POTUS then, Cong collaborator Ken?
 

USDA Ends COOL Enforcement With President Obama’s Signature on the Omnibus Bill​


“Congress did this and the President concurred without any congressional debate, let alone public debate,” it continued. “Section 179 was cemented into the massive spending bill behind closed doors.”

R-CALF said the repeal amounts to a gift by the President and Congress to 15 other nations that produce beef and pork for sale in the U.S.

USDA’s regulations to implement country of origin labeling were upheld by U.S. Courts when they were challenged by North American meat producers. The WTO, however, found the labeling scheme amounted to a non-tariff trade barrier prohibited by trade agreements signed by the U.S.

And to even the scales, WTO said Canada and Mexico could begin imposing retaliatory tariffs on other products the U.S. sells in those countries.

Bill Bullard, chief executive of R-CALF USA, said the U.S. could have tried the diplomatic approach with Canada and Mexico to see if there were ways outside of WTO “to resolve their parochial concerns with our COOL law before any retaliatory tariffs could be implemented, but the President and his cabinet remained indifferent to the potential loss of the right of U.S. citizens to know the origins of food.”

Philip Ellis, president of the Denver-based National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said repeal of COOL was one of several victories for cattlemen and woman that were contained in the omnibus.

Ellis said COOL was a failed program with its costs imposed on cattle producers.


 
What's the matter, @signalmankenneth?

Obama was the one who signed off on the repeal of mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef and pork in 2015 after a WTO fight with Canada and Mexico.

Nothing to say?
 
You mean the guy Trump kicked out of his golf club? The same Trump who has released all the unredacted Epstein files to members of Congress, who obviously have yet to find any dirt on Trump.
If you need more information on this, contact your congressman. Until then, STFU.
The guy Trump claims he kicked out of his golf club.
You believe all of the unredacted Epstein were relased?
 
Yes, but Trump did everything he could to prevent them from passing it, he knew his veto would get overridden.

I also know the entire file was not released.
Then deal with it and don't make claims you cannot back up.
For now, get your ass back to the phone bank. There are people who need a warranty for their two year old toaster.
