5. These tariffs will stimulate the farmers to grow these crops

Isn't that what Besset implied when he said tariffs would bring production home?

I want to see all the coffee, chocolate, bananas that are grown in the US sold here. (There are a couple of places in Italy that are growing coffee now. But the supply is limited.)

Avocados also. I know those grow in CA but just think what they will cost if CA is the only supplier.

Just stupid of him. I'm waiting for him to go off again on the VAT that most European countries collect.
