WASHINGTON, Jan 19: The United States said on Friday it would extend an investigation into Canadian wheat sales from January 22, until February 15, to study a “tremendous” response to its request for comments.
Extending the investigation will enable us to thoroughly review and analyze all the information received, US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick said in a statement.
The United States launched an investigation in October last year, based on a petition by the North Dakota Wheat Commission alleging unfair marketing practices.
