The First Trump Tariff Americans Will Feel Every Morning Has People Steaming

Donald Trump’s new trade war will likely mess with your cup of joe.

The price of coffee could be set to soar for Americans after the president on Wednesday announced tariffs on countries worldwide, including steep rates on Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia ― from where the U.S. buys the majority of its unroasted coffee beans.

The move prompted an immediate backlash online with critics pointing out America’s minimal coffee-growing capacity, due to the climate, which makes the importation of beans so important.

Charging 32% tariff on Indonesian coffee beans when the US exports no coffee to them and doesnt have a climate to produce coffee domestically. Yes, these tariffs make so much sense. If you have brain damage. Trump ran on ‘groceries’ - beautiful word - enjoy the price hike.

Just brilliant. Because Indonesia has a high tax on coffee imports, Trump's going to put a 32% tax on coffee imports from Indonesia - even though the US exports no coffee to Indonesia (or most anywhere else). He literally does not understand the concept of comparative advantage. pic.twitter.com/tSjpERe8pN

Enjoy your coffee now with the big tax on it. Hey maga's a tariff is a tax the importer (you) pay not the exporter. It is designed to make imports dearer so you by USA products. Unlike trump who buys his merchandise from China. Have a look at the label if you don't believe me. https://t.co/WCvmCO2shL

Guys, we don't have a domestic coffee bean industry at volume. Forget about Starbucks. Folgers and Maxwell House import their beans from regions of the world that can grow coffee beans. They'll be hit with tariffs. Your working class family's coffee price is going up. Trump…

You can't grow coffee beans in Missouri, folks! Trump's global trade war will have disastrous consequences on so many commodities that literally can't be replicated on American soil. Sadly, unsuspecting consumers will end up paying the price. ???? https://t.co/S7tfO9RA1X

You will be wrong. Starting tomorrow, Americans will be taxed. Your avocados, coffee, clothes, umbrellas, TV's, computers, cars, furniture, kids toys and bananas will increase in price. Why... Trump.

This will go over well…

(By the way, I’ve learned tonight how many people didn’t know that the United States cannot grow coffee beans on a scale large enough to meet national demand.) pic.twitter.com/MBGmGvg9jI
