US launches tomato trade war with Mexico

Wednesday, May 8, 2019


Mexico's Economy Department said that U.S. consumers could pay 38 to 70 percent more for tomatoes after the U.S. Commerce Department announced it would re-impose anti-dumping duties on Mexican imports.

The Mexican agency said the country exports about $2 billion in tomatoes to the United States and supplies about half the tomatoes the U.S. consumes annually, the Associated Press reports.
