Trump imposes 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes
The US imposes 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes, affecting 70% of tomatoes imported to the US. Mexican tomatoes are popular due to their quality, despite accusations of dumping. US tomato growers have long sought to combat unfair trade practices, leading to increased tariffs. This move is expected to impact prices in supermarkets and restaurants, potentially encouraging consumers to buy locally-grown tomatoes.
