Argentina has filed its third trade complaint in two weeks, the World Trade Organization said on Monday, challenging US laws that it says have blocked imports of fresh lemons from Argentina into the American market..
Argentina argues that US farm lobbyists keep lemons from entering the country.

The US, Japan and Mexico filed trade complaints against Argentina’s import licensing policies two weeks ago. prompting Argentina to say it would hit back with complaints over US beef. It filed the complaint on August 30.

Personal comment: ....Americans should first purchase America grown lemons as long as a adequate supply of US lemons exist. Then once again from Chile.

Isn't this the same country that just forcibly nationalized their engery industry? They aren't in any position to argue about free and open markets to anyone or any country, ever!

Furthermore:
"The Argentine Government has made no secret of the fact that it wishes to reduce imports and boost its domestic trade surplus through a variety of restrictive trade measures.

Seems a little hypocritical to me.
