…Companies that use #steel & #aluminum to make their products criticized the #tariffs, saying they would add #costs for American #consumers.

Robert Budway, the president of the Can Manufacturers Institute, said doubling the steel tariff would further increase the cost of canned goods at the #grocery store.

“This cost is levied upon millions of American families relying on canned #foods picked & packed by US #farmers & can makers,” he said.

‘Shock to the system’: #farmers hit by #Trump’s #tariffs & cuts say they need another #bailout

With #ExtremeWeather & Trump’s #TradeWar, US farmers are reeling & resigned to needing more cash help

Farmers across the #UnitedStates say they could face financial ruin – unless there is a huge #taxpayer funded bail out to compensate for losses generated by Trump’s sweeping cuts & chaotic tariffs.

“the entire U.S. #coffee industry has ridden the backs of #coffee #farmers to keep prices down, maintain a consistent supply, diversify offerings and give U.S. consumers ample choices for cheap, delicious coffees — all while turning a profit”
“The side effects from this fundamental trade dynamic are many — among them is poverty among millions of smallholder #coffee #farmers”
“that the U.S. #coffee industry has been the victim of trade exploitation is pure absurdity” https://dailycoffeenews.com/2025/04/08/column-in-coffee-the-u-s-is-not-well-suited-to-play-trade-victim/

After #China unveiled steep retaliatory #tariffs on American exports on Wed, #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent issued a sharp & surprising response: “So what?”

The loss of China as an export market will deal a particularly hard blow to #agriculture in red states, hitting the voters who helped #Trump win. On Wed, Trump ratcheted US tariffs on China even higher. #Farmers are concerned that a protracted #TradeWar w/China will cut off ties w/their largest export market.

... withhold just critical goods reduces the pain on non-#US consumers and suppliers....

In fact, that strategy can be enhanced, targeting #MAGA donors, voters, and #RedStates.
A good example to follow for #Canada, for instance, is the critical #Fertilizer ingredient for (#US) #farmers, #potash, as we analyzed a few days ago:

Trump wants to extend citizenship to "any farmer" from South Africa, but experts say he likely can't

#Trump claimed that his #trade policy will be “great” for the American #farmer because they won’t have to compete w/foreign producers.

Actual #farmers point out that the #US #agriculture industry produces far more corn, soybeans, pork, chicken, cattle etc. than Americans could possibly consume. Farmers say they need foreign markets, but other countries impose #tariffs on their goods in #retaliation for Trump’s tariffs. That cuts them off from the foreign customers they need.

The 2022 #InflationReductionAct allowed President #Biden to designate $4B for #ColoradoRiver programs, including big sums for programs that pay #farmers, #cities & #NativeAmerican [#IndigenousPeople] tribes to #conserve Colorado River #water &, instead, leave it in those #reservoirs. The payments are compensation for money they can't make by using water to grow crops or for other uses.

#Water users whose #grants have been paused said they are asking the federal govt for more info & getting little in the way of answers. The #FederalAgencies in charge of Western water did not respond to NPR's requests for comment [probably because they were fired by #Musk].

#Conservation programs like the one sending money to #California #farmers have been key in boosting water supplies in major #reservoirs.
