US Trade Probe Threatens NZ Lamb Exports
Description
New Zealands Trade Minister, Todd McClay, anticipates a US trade probe into lamb imports, potentially leading to renewed tariffs. Despite a surge in exports, valued at over $600 million in 2025, the US seeks to justify a previous illegal tariff. McClay suspects this investigation is a ploy to reinstate the tariff wall, with lamb from New Zealand and Australia potentially targeted. New Zealand officials are negotiating with US counterparts, emphasizing their fair trade practices. However, McClay acknowledges the uncertainty, as President Trumps decisions may not align with trade logic.
