Speaking to the U.S. Meat Export Federation board of directors, U.S. Ag Secretary Mike Johanns said that when it comes to trade issues, the United States cannot treat Canada and Japan differently. He said the use of scientific standards for both the U.S. meat industry and its trading partners will best serve everyone. "If we demand a level playing field, we also have to offer one," Johanns said.
Johanns also said that he "will not rest until Japan reopens its borders to American beef
