Dude, if we tariff coffee I will personally write a strenuous letter to Trump. In crayon, and strenuous because I won't have had my coffee.
On slave plantations for the most part
Foreign slave plantations.
.... Not that slave plantations anywhere makes it better, but the fact that it's foreign will mean that not only is the labor mainly performed by slaves, but we're also paying a premium because it's imported goods. Double jeopardy.
Yay capitalism!
No tariffs have been set but we're going to just assume they'll be put on items we can't even make. 100% tariffs on everything, trade isn't something you strategically do.
Not sure if nafta is still active but I don’t think we can tariff Mexico. Mexico has some good coffee options
And I’m not defending trump at all but I don’t think he has any plans on putting tariffs for South America. I thought it was like only a China thing.
Could it be possible for companies to drop ship through Canada or Mexico to skip the tariffs?
Maybe there’s money in starting a coffee exporting business to the US…
Wonder if we will see an uptick in American made "koffee"?
Something like the Ersatzkaffee from yesteryear. I mean they have the means of making caffeine so maybe it will be better?
Black Rifle Koffee
But (assuming a tarrif is something that can even pass) I imagine you're going to see a swiss cheese of exemptions for favored countries. And these countries will become a back door for imports.
Expect all of your coffee to be mysteriously harvested from Canada.
