The 4 years of the Trump administration was marked by a number of events and policies that affected the Canadian agrifood sector. Changes to preferential trade agreements, the collapse of the World Trade Organization's dispute settlement framework, increased domestic support for US farmers, and diplomatic tensions between the United States and China all shaped international trade flows and created an environment of policy uncertainty. The Biden administration will change course on several important trade policy issues. We discuss how these changes could affect the Canadian agrifood sector along a number of dimensions, including a return to multilateralism, (re)engagement in preferential trade agreements, and movements toward a less combative and more predictable trade policy agenda. We expect Canadian agrifood trade flows under the Biden administration to exceed what they would have been under a second Trump administration.

拜登总统的国际贸易议程：对加拿大农产品行业的启示

特朗普政府成立4年的标志是一系列影响加拿大农业食品领域的事件和政策。优惠贸易协定的变更，世界贸易组织争端解决框架​​的瓦解，对美国农民的国内支持增加以及中美之间的外交紧张关系，都形成了国际贸易流量，并创造了政策不确定性的环境。拜登政府将在几个重要的贸易政策问题上改变路线。我们将讨论这些变化如何从多个方面影响加拿大的农产品行业，包括重返多边主义，（重新）参与优惠贸易协定，以及朝不那么好斗和更可预测的贸易政策议程迈进。
