LIVE: Cortez Masto Pushes to Repeal Trump Coffee Tariffs

Published | Video Starts at 01:48

99% of the coffee in this country comes from another country. Until President Trump took office, Americans had never paid broad tariffs on coffee imports.

And other main coffee producers like Vietnam, Indonesia, Colombia, Ethiopia, are being tariffed at outrageous rates. Now, I don't need to tell you what that's meant for Americans, because we've all felt it every single day. (01:48–01:56)
