WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD News) — U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is asking the U.S. International Trade Commission to investigate whether imported lamb is causing serious injury to the domestic industry.
In a letter to the commission, Greer said lamb imports have increased in recent years and cited information he said suggests imported lamb has contributed to lost sales, lower revenue and reduced market share for U.S. producers.
The U.S. International Trade Commission will determine whether to open the investigation.
