FUSSAR CALLED FRIEND THE OF THE US. CUBAN IMPORTS ON THE RISE.

Rail Baron and industrial Titan Leviticus Cornwall stood next to a ship unloading Cuban sugar from the island of Guarma and hailed a new era of cooperation between the two countries. After making two trips to the region to tour sugar plantations, and signing an exclusive purchase order with the Governor of Guarma, imports are on the rise. Cornwall had called local govenor Alberto Fussar "a great friend of America."

However, the boom is undercutting the US sugar industry and resulting in the loss of American jobs. Detractors call Fussar a controversial figure who is flamboyant at times and cruel at others and has Guarma under a quasi-military rule. His security force is reportedly feared across the island, which plantation workers often working 14 hour shifts to keep up.
