Statement by Congressman Dan Kildee on U.S. Department of Commerce Agreement with Mexico’s Sugar Industry
June 6, 2017
Press Release
Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) issued the following statement today after the U.S. Department of Commerce announced an agreement with Mexico’s subsidized sugar industry meant to address Mexico’s violation of America’s trade laws:
“While today’s announcement by the Commerce Department makes significant progress to address Mexico dumping sugar in the U.S. market, it still leaves a loophole that could hurt American farmers. Family sugar farmers in my district and across Michigan are hurting due to unfair trade practices. In my district alone, thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars are in jeopardy. I hope in the coming days, the Commerce Department closes this loophole and provides real relief to families in my district.”
