Brazil’s coffee industry would benefit from a tariff reduction and such a move would tend to balance trade between the two countries as Brazil imports more goods from the U.S. than it exports.

In this installment of Tariffs Insights, Thomas Thompson takes a renewed look at the impact tariffs might be having on the American economy, and considers some measures suggested by leading Trump administration officials to ameliorate the effect of its ever-shifting trade policies and approaches.

Some of the items that Thompson reports on and explores in this piece include:

The potential reduction in tariffs for coffee, banana, and other foodstuffs that are not produced in the U.S. as the Trump administration considers addressing the public’s apparent concerns with respect to affordability.
Presidents Trump’s grudging, but implicit, acknowledgement of the relationship between tariffs and grocery prices when he recently conceded that American were “paying something” in a media interview.
China’s apparent reluctance to resume its previously robust purchasing activities in the U.S. soybean markets, despite its recent commitment to purchase 12 million tons of the commodity this year and double that in each of the next few years as a result of the October talks between President Trump and President Xi of China.
