The price of coffee could be set to soar for Americans after the president on Wednesday announced tariffs on countries worldwide, including steep rates on Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia ― from where the U.S. buys the majority of its unroasted coffee beans.

The move prompted an immediate backlash online with critics pointing out America’s minimal coffee-growing capacity, due to the climate, which makes the importation of beans so important.

We cannot have middle and working class people drinking coffee!!!

 

More evidence that Trump has almost zero understanding of  how the world functions.

The US has probably been exploiting the poor in those countries  to get cheap coffee. About time you started paying a fair price, but unfortunately the poor people that are exploited won't get any of the benefit.
