WPBN: Senator Peters fighting for Michigan cherry growers

U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI) testified at a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) hearing in Washington, DC in support of Michigan cherry growers’ efforts to ensure a level playing field and hold Turkish tart cherry exporters accountable for continually using unfair trade practices. Peters reaffirmed his support for the ITC’s preliminary decision to impose tariffs targeting the Turkish cherry industry and advocated for a final determination in line with their preliminary decision. Earlier this year, Peters supported the Dried Tart Cherry Trade Committee’s anti-dumping and countervailing duty petitions with the ITC and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
