Peace at last in tomato war between US and Mexico

Wednesday, August 21, 2019


The U.S. government and Mexican growers agreed to new rules for trade in tomatoes that will suspend tariffs imposed since May and implement import rules demanded by Florida growers to protect their industry.

The deal was reached at midnight on Tuesday in Washington. Lawyers had agreed that this was the final opportunity to stop the probe and allow for 30 days of public comment, Bloomberg reports.
