Expressing the sense of Congress that all direct and indirect subsidies that benefit the production or export of sugar by all major sugar-producing and -consuming countries should be eliminated.
This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's view that all government support for sugar production and exports by major global producers (like Brazil, India, the EU, and Mexico) should be eliminated. It directs the President to work toward ending these subsidies and report to Congress on progress, followed by proposals for U.S. sugar policy reforms. The resolution does not create new laws but urges diplomatic action to address what Congress describes as market-distorting subsidies affecting the global sugar market. It directly concerns international sugar trade policies and U.S. agricultural competitiveness.
