Beans comprise about 5 cents per cup at Starbucks. If a 100% tariff adds another 5 cents, nobody cares...
Be as flippant as you want but the tariffs being rolled back don't just apply to coffee beans.
The objective is to reduce the trade deficit
Does this sound like rollbacks are going to reduce the trade deficit?
"The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has released new projections showing that recent rollbacks of President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff strategy have wiped out roughly $800 billion in expected debt reduction over the next decade"

On top of that Trump is saying he will give Americans $2000 payments from tariff dividends. I'll believe it when I see it but with a $37 trillion debt, one would think that would go towards reducing that debt. How much has it been reduced by so far?
if you dont want to be grouped in with the TDS parade over there, totally understandable.
I have my own thoughts and opinions thanks
