Landrieu: U.S. and Mexican Officials Reach Preliminary Agreement on Illegal Mexican Sugar Imports
“I am encouraged that the U.S. and Mexican governments have reached a draft agreement to help prevent these illegal sugar imports and halt the losses our Louisiana sugar producers have suffered.

I will also hold the Administration accountable for enforcing the final terms, including the investigative and enforcement provisions of the pact."
