It is unfortunate that many countries continue to use illegal tactics to distort competition in the agriculture, seafood and other industries Graves continued: Sugarcane production is major economic driver in Louisiana, employing thousands of people across the State. Illegal dumping and illegal subsidies by foreign countries is a direct threat to our economy, and Im encouraged that yesterdays vote recognizes that fact. To be clear, I am a proponent of free trade but I believe that free trade must be fair trade. Louisiana can compete and win on a level playing field. The existing trade framework among Canada, Mexico and the United States was specifically designed to prevent subsidies and dumping to ensure fairness a feature absolutely critical to free and fair trade. ###	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
