> tariff on our closest allies

I saw that your president said:

> “We imported $3b of Australian beef last year alone… they won’t take any of our beef because they don’t want it to affect their farmers.”

Just FYI, the reason we don't import much beef is because we have about as many cows as we do people here :)

US Beef doesn't have the greatest reputation either, same as chicken.

If these products are labelled as being from the US I don't see anyone buying them unless they're dirt cheap.

  • Don't know about beef specifically, but I wouldn't trust food from the US because I'm sure it has in it a lot of stuff that's illegal in the EU...

    Too bad that I actually like bourbons. Let's see if the retaliatory tarrifs make them more expensive than the fancy japanese whiskey bottles next to them... I've been meaning to try those.
