Trade Alliance to Promote Prosperity Thanks U.S. Congress Members for Requesting Phosphate Tariff Petition be Denied

On March 2nd, a bipartisan group of 17 prominent members of Congress wrote to ITC Chairman Jason Kearns and urged him to deny the Mosaic Company’s petition to impose countervailing duties on phosphate imports from Russia and Morocco. See the attached letter. 

In part, the Congress members wrote, “We are concerned that the imposition of duties sought by the petitioner could result not only in higher input costs for U.S. farmers but also in more limited options for applying treatments necessary for a successful harvest.”

The Trade Alliance to Promote Prosperity applauds the Congress members for standing with American farmers, and working to protect them from harmful phosphate tariffs.
