Dear Mr. Trump,
before you blame Nabisco too much for moving their Oreo plant to Mexico,
consider that the main ingredient of the cookies is Sugar..
and look at the administration’s sugar tariffs, regulations

and you (as a businessman) will see right away ... how WashingtonDC is forcing Nabisco to move its factory out of USA

Forcing Nabisco? Ok show me the data the says Nabisco would go out of business unless the new plant moved to Mexico. What a tool you are.

I suppose you know that Mondalez, the parent company, has lobbied the government to allow their cookies to be bought with food stamps, that they spent about a million lobbying last year in the US alone?

The wholesale price of sugar is about 27 cents/pound. It's hard to believe that the cost of the sugar affects the profitability of Oreo's very much.

It's more likely that it is the same as most products - the ingredients/components contribute very little to production cost while infrastructure, manufacturing, R&D and labor make up most of the expense.
