7 Possible 2017 shifts: China friction Trump Impacts No beef deal? None yet. China cracks down on U.S. beef via Hong Kong? 11% of exports in 2016 U.S. poultry restrictions continue (ad/cvd duties, HPAI ban) More stringent pork measures, testing? NAFTA (Mexico; 2.5 bil net lbs of meat/poultry)

8 Trump Impacts Possible 2017 shifts (cont): Cuba policy reversed? (#2 U.S. chicken market in 2016; 368 mil lbs) Russia sanctions may be lifted, but no change likely for U.S. meat and poultry Brazil beef import rule overturned?

9 In the past year, there s been plenty of people warning that the answer is a trade war and that that would be terrible for the U.S. But its also a possibility that protectionism just might cause our most important trade partners to adjust their policies to America s benefit. - Forbes A copy of the local Chinese magazine Global People with a cover story that translates to "Why did Trump win" is seen with a front cover portrait of US president-elect Donald Trump at a news stand in Shanghai on November 14, 2016.
