Here's a thought:
Madagascar charges us 0% tariff on vanilla, and we charge them 0% on wheat. Tell me what is not fair about that...
I don't know. And I doubt you know either. You guys are getting played. It turns out our trade agreements aren't as fucked up as Trump said. AND, the Canada/Mexico deal we have is Trump's from his first presidency. So is he telling us he negotiated a bad deal?
Fair? Does the USA care about what's fair? We want the best economy. We want the lowest prices. And we want to protect our middle class. At least now we do. In the 2000's Republicans purposely destroyed our middle class because it made too much money. This is why we didn't tariff chinese imports. China wasn't stupid.
So if you want to bring jobs home, tariff those things 500%. Because no matter what, you want to bring those jobs home, right?
Madagascar doesn't specifically tariff US wheat. Madagascar's tariffs are generally between 5% and 20%, and these are modified annually by the Budget and Finance law,
according to the Data Privacy Framework. While Madagascar may import wheat flour (a main import product) from other countries,
according to tralac trade law centre, US wheat is also exported to Madagascar, albeit at a lower rate than US imports from Madagascar,ation, but is sourced from vanilla orchids grown in warm, tropical climates. The majority of vanilla beans come from Madagascar and other islands in the southwestern Indian Ocean. Other significant vanilla-producing regions include Mexico, Tahiti, and Indonesia.
Wheat is a less rare/valuable commodity
Wheat is grown in various regions around the world, with the largest producers being in Asia, Europe, and North America. Major wheat-producing countries include China, India, Russia, the United States, Canada, and the European Union. Within these regions, specific areas are known for wheat cultivation, such as the Indo-Gangetic plains in India, the Great Plains in the United States, and the Northern and Southern plains of the United States.
