Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representatives Jill Tokuda (D-HI-02) and William Timmons (R-SC-04), co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Coffee Caucus, released the following joint statement after the Trump Administration announced most coffee products would be removed from the list of items subject to reciprocal tariffs:
“When we led a bipartisan letter earlier this year urging the Trump Administration to remove coffee from tariffs, we did so to protect American jobs and secure a stable supply chain for the U.S. economy. The Administration's decision reflects what is possible when members of both parties work together with industry and local communities to advocate for a commonsense solution. The Congressional Coffee Caucus will continue working across the aisle and with the Administration to strengthen our nation's competitiveness, support our businesses, and ensure that our nation's trade policies serve hardworking American people.”
