Is it me or terms like 'dumping' is only ever used in one direction and when the US exports heavily subsidized agricultural products, it's just plain old free market trade.
- acchow 9y agoSome examples, please? (tho, I bet if you read news from Brazil, it would go the other way)
- beat 9y agoSugar. The US has very highvpunitive tariffs on global sugar, and massive subsidies on American alternatives (beet sugar and high fructose corn syrup), enough that it is one of the top sticking points in trade agreements.
- tbihl 9y agoI don't think it's uncommon to say that the US dumps cheap corn on the world markets, especially Mexico. Or, in so much as that's talked about at all, 'dumped' isn't uncommon terminology. Or maybe I just have cynical friends.
