Big Stick

Nelson introduced similar legislation aimed at Japan while that nation's market remained closed to U.S. beef, but that measure would only have embargoed Japanese beef from entering the U.S. This time, Nelson told Brownfield, sanctions legislation against South Korea would involve a wider range of products.</blockquote><br />n<br />nIt looks like somebody is willing to threaten South Korea with a very big stick over their official, unofficial trade barrier to US beef. Sounds good to me. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this.<br />n<br />n<strong>Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far. Theodore Roosevelt </strong><br />n<br />
