Tridge summary

The Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) has included Taiwan's import restrictions on US pork and beef in its annual trade policy agenda report, stating that these restrictions lack scientific basis. The USTR has expressed concern over Taiwan's agricultural policies, including its rice procurement system and maximum residue value of pesticides in food. Despite the USTR's priority to remove barriers for US pigs and cattle in Taiwan, these restrictions remain in place, with certain conditions for importing US pigs and cattle. The issue is further complicated by public opposition to the import of 'Lai pigs', as demonstrated by a protest by the Kuomintang party.
