Trump's Fair and Reciprocal Trade Plan

This is why we need tariffs.

The U.S. tariff on ethanol is a mere 2.5%, but Brazil charges the U.S. ethanol exports a tariff of 18%.

As a result, in 2024, the U.S. imported over $200 million in ethanol from Brazil — while the U.S. exported only $52 million in ethanol to Brazil.

The European Union can export all the shellfish it wants to America — yet the EU *bans* shellfish exports from 48 of our states.

As a result, in 2023, the U.S. imported $274 million in shellfish from the EU — but the U.S. exported only $38 million.

A 2019 report found that across 132 countries and more than 600,000 product lines, U.S. exporters face higher tariffs *more than two-thirds* of the time.

President Trump's plan seeks to fix these imbalances and ensure FAIRNESS across the board.

These imbalances must be addressed. That is long overdue.
