America is in the middle of a trade war with what feels like the rest of the world. Luckily, trade wars are fun and super easy to win<\/a>, so I\u2019ll just sit back and watch all the fun and the winning from the comforts of my American-made Ikea PO\u00c4NG (I turned the Allen wrench, therefore it\u2019s technically American made, ok). But until all the messy details of the winning get ironed out, other countries are being real meanies about the whole war and slapping tariffs on American goods. Eater<\/a> has been keeping a running list of things seeing anywhere between a 10% and 25% tax added to the top, and that list now includes coffee.<\/p>\n The trade war has escalated quickly since Trump signed an \u201cexecutive memo to tax up to $60 billion worth of Chinese imports with the intent of penalizing China for unfair trade practices.\u201d China then went tit-for-tat with $60 billion worth of their of tariffs, which then led the American \u201cleader\u201d to \u201cI\u2019m rubber and your glue\u201d the whole situation with an added $200 billion in tariffs earlier this month.<\/p>\n Now it\u2019s China\u2019s turn to spin the wheel of calamity, and their newest round of tariffs include a tax on coffee<\/strong>, taking effect today, September 24th. It is unclear exactly how much in additional taxes will be placed on coffee.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s not just China who is penalizing the American coffee industry. Our friends and allies to the north Canada\u2014CANADA!<\/em>\u00a0We are openly feuding with Canada now?!\u2014have also implemented retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. According to Eater, the Great White North having been taxing American goods since July 1st, including a 10% fee on coffee, non-decaf.<\/strong><\/p>\n Back in 2016<\/a> we openly wondered if Trump\u2014who famously claims to have “never had a cup of coffee”<\/strong>\u2014would be bad for the coffee industry. “If elected,” we wrote, “would President Trump ban coffee? Only time will tell.” Welp\u2014time has told us that Trump’s Game of Tariffs is, at the very least, going to make the global commerce of coffee needlessly more expensive, at a time when the global coffee market can least afford<\/a> such pointless belligerence.<\/p>\n Zac Cadwalader<\/a>\u00a0is the news editor at Sprudge Media Network and a staff writer based in Dallas.\u00a0Read more Zac Cadwalader\u00a0on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Trump’s Trade War Includes Multiple Tariffs On Coffee<\/a> appeared first on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Coffee News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" America is in the middle of a trade war with what feels like the rest of the world.
