The US Meat Export Federation has welcomed a new trade agreement between the US and Japan. It said the Asian country was the second-biggest export destination for US beef.

USMEF president, Dan Halstrom, said the new agreement would “return US red meat to a level playing field in Japan”.

Japan and the US issued announcements about the deal on July 23, with a 15% reciprocal tariff on most products.
