USA: Trade concerns for the rest of 2020 include COVID-19, China (Agro Meat) 

May 11, 2020


Agro Meat (Argentina) published an article on comments made by Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber on the US-China trade agreements. Glauber said, “The two most important problems facing US exporters of agricultural products in the coming months are whether China is meeting its purchase commitments under the phase one trade agreement and what effect the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) will have on world trade. Glauber doubts whether China would honor its 2020 commitment. He added that a U-shaped scenario, a recovery in which much of the workforce remained or worked from home for six months was most likely.”
