President Donald Trump ran for reelection on a promise to lower grocery prices “on Day One.” Now, his administration seems to be acknowledging six months of aggressive, capricious trade policy has done the opposite.

Another day, another potential tariff change. The latest from the White House: to address Americans’ rising grocery bills, President Trump wants to carve out tariff exemptions.

There aren’t many details yet, but officials have noted that exemptions might include foods like coffee and bananas from four countries: Ecuador, Argentina, El Salvador and Guatemala. Will these meaningfully lower costs for American consumers?

“Each country has its own unique rate,” Namowicz said.

From Indonesia to Ethiopia to Peru, the company imports from something like 30 different countries, including some on the exemption list.

“Open our computers every day and just figure out how we bring nice coffees to market,” Namowicz said.

He said any tariff relief helps. But it’s likely not going to have a huge impact on prices. The U.S. imports about a third of its beans from Brazil, a country not on the exemption list. The tax rate for imports from Brazil is 50%. Meanwhile, coffee costs have been rising because of extreme weather.

“So yeah, there’d need to be a couple other things that would probably have to happen for the coffee market to actually come down,” Namowicz said.

There are so many other factors that influence the price of food, like cost of labor, transportation and warehousing. Plus, there are other tariffs.

The Trump administration has made it harder for international students to study in the U.S., and early data indicates those moves are already having an impact. Smaller, religious and specialized schools will be disproportionally affected, and some have already reported international enrollment is down by as much as 60%. If that trend continues, it will be a big deal for colleges, the people who work at them, and for local economies.
