Is this going to be like the sugar deal that ruins cane farmers in the US?


Considering every deal Trump has made since he's been in office has been about putting the American worker first, i'd say, no, not at all.

According to the NYT's article (where they actually did some real reporting) the deal will lower the supply of sugar from Mexico from 53% of all Mexican imports to 30%.

That will keep U.S. sugar prices high (good for U.S. sugar refiners especially in Florida, Louisiana and Hawaii) and good for high fructose corn syrup producers in the Midwest (corn farmers).
