U.S. Senator Marco Rubio issued a statement today about the ongoing antidumping investigation on fresh tomatoes from Mexico (Inv. No. 731-TA-747).
Senator Rubio said that “U.S. tomato growers should not have to lose their livelihoods due to a deal imposed on them by their own government”, adding that the loss of livelihood happened under the previous agreement.
Also stating: “The fact remains that the Mexicans have avoided serious negotiations for well over a year, preferring to use scare tactics and inflammatory rhetoric to try to force President Trump and Secretary Ross to back down on their commitment to ensure that American tomato growers are able to fairly compete in our own domestic market.”
