<h1>Country A demands trade deals respect its non-negotiable red lines as tariff dispute stalls agriculture and dairy talks</h1> Country A says any bilateral trade agreement with Country B must respect its non-negotiable 'red lines' as talks resume amid a tariff dispute; Country B recently imposed steep tariffs, including an additional duty tied to Country A's energy purchases, which Country A deems unfair. Negotiations have stalled over key sectors such as agriculture and dairy, and both sides seek a mutually acceptable 'landing ground.' The dispute highlights legal issues around tariff authority, extraterritorial secondary sanctions, and supply-chain resilience, while broader geopolitical shifts and increased use of sanctions and asset seizures are shaping trade and security considerations.
