Trump Administration Plans to Slap 21% Tariff on Mexican Tomatoes | Firstpost America | N18G

US President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which are targeting most of the world, are now hitting Americans' wallets. From tea and coffee to apparel, shoppers in the United States are expected to see a price hike on everyday essentials. The next thing adding to their woes would be tomatoes. The Trump administration is planning to slap a nearly 21% tariff on most of the tomatoes imported from Mexico. The tariff will be imposed on July 14, near the start of peak tomato season. In a statement, the Department of Commerce said it intends to withdraw from a trade agreement with Mexico. The deal signed back in 2019, had averted an anti-dumping duty on Mexican tomatoes. However, US authorities now say Mexican tomatoes are unfairly priced and such an agreement has failed to protect domestic tomato growers.
