Canada and Mexico called on the Senate to eliminate the country-of-origin labeling law for meat, and Senate Agriculture Chairman Pat Roberts expressed confidence that a repeal measure would be included in a year-end spending bill. Canadian and Mexican agencies issued a joint statement Thursday afternoon, noting that the World Trade Organization has authorized them to impose more than $1 billion in total retaliatory tariffs against U.S. exports if the labeling requirements stay in place. Congressional leaders had hoped to pass the omnibus by Friday, when the continuing resolution that is currently funding the government expires, but a new short-term spending bill was proposed in the House on Wednesday to fund the government through next Wednesday.
