    US denies Brazil any timetable for an end to the ban on fresh beef imports

    Perdue said Maggi had pressed for a timeline for restoring imports of fresh beef to US, but he argued any timeline would depend upon progress being made by Brazil.

    Brazil needs to make progress on inspections before any timeline can be set to end a U.S. ban on imports of fresh Brazilian beef, the U.S. agriculture secretary said on Monday. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and his Brazilian counterpart Blairo Maggi met in Washington, D.C., on Monday to discuss the ban that went into effect on June 22.
