A developing country cannot possibly lower their trade deficit with USA (which is what these tariffs are based on, not if the tariffs exist in the country’s side). They literally are too poor to buy our stuff, but they can sell their stuff cheaply. This is how I get to have luxury Ethiopian coffee for less than 20$/month. There is no domestic coffee that’s competing with Ethiopian coffee (Hawaiis coffee is doing just swell).

Like, be for real, what kind of domestic banana industry do we have? We don’t, are we seriously going to be “investing” into banana crops in America? Tariffs on bananas is bananas.
