Introduction to the policy articles on Trump to Biden: Implications for Canadian Agriculture

Abstract

President Biden was sworn in on January 20, 2021 after a 4-year term by President Trump. Certainly, Trump's norm breaking presidency impacted Canada in significant ways and the agricultural sector was no exception. In this issue, we have a set of four short articles discussing the possible implications on Canadian agriculture of transitioning from a Trump to Biden presidency. Issues related to Canada-U.S. agricultural trade, political norms and uncertainty, U.S. domestic support, participation in trade agreements, and U.S.-China relations are all considered.
