A watchdog group has alleged that a Dominican sugar importer tied to President Trump continues to engage in abusive labor practices.

According to reporting from the New York Times, the company was still violating labor standards after a U.S. import ban was lifted last year.

The outlet said the allegations center on labor conditions rather than any new change in market access, but they arise in the context of renewed attention on imported sugar and enforcement after the ban removal.
