Would you look at that? Trump's tariffs are having their intended impact for American businesses. At least for now.
In Alabama, farmers are showing their gratitude for President Trump's tariffs which are making business boom in the produce world.
It's only been two days now and we've actually had a lot more calls of people having interest in doing business and the price hasn't even changed.
So, this leveling the playing field with international trade actually ... levels the playing field? A 17% tariff was all it took??
From NBC 13 in Birmingham:
Many are concerned this will mean higher prices on tomatoes and products like salsa made from tomatoes. [Blake] Thaxton [the Alabama Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association] said when you consider U.S. farmers pay their workers 10 times more per hour than workers in Mexico make, there may be a price increase, but he doesn't think it'll be a huge jump ...
Thaxton said, 'Food security is national security, and we need to be able to produce our own food here in the United States.'
This is such a salient point: America doesn't need to rely on other countries' food.
