The U.S. is slapping a 10% tariff on Brazilian coffee—the first move of its kind since colonial times—and the ripple effects could disrupt your morning brew. 🌍 Brazil, America’s biggest coffee supplier, is already battling soaring arabica bean prices due to last year’s devastating drought. Now, farmers are bracing for even tougher times as tariffs threaten to strain demand and push costs higher for U.S. consumers.
One family-run farm in Brazil, visited by local reporters, says they’ve weathered storms before… but never a storm quite like this. With supplies dwindling and global markets on edge, could your latte get pricier? ☕ Analysts warn the tariff could reshape trade flows, forcing buyers to hunt for alternatives in Vietnam or Colombia.
Meanwhile, coffee addicts worldwide are left wondering: Will caffeine become the next casualty of trade wars?
