Trump tactics
Kiwi farmers are not the only ones nervous about their future as a result of politicians throwing them under the harvester.
Trade Minister Todd McClay is planning to meet his counterparts in the next few months to test the waters for a deal.
“We need those discussions, particularly because the biggest opportunity for NZ exporters is Japan, which is big for horticulture and beef. So we are keen to engage with the rest of the countries [in the TPP] to see if we can still harvest the benefits of the TPP.
“Rather than the whole thing falling over, it is still worth trying to progress a TPP without the US.”
