Under the updated order, certain qualifying agricultural products, including coffee, will no longer be subject to those tariffs. The decision follows Rep. Bacon\u2019s bipartisan No Coffee Tax Act, introduced with Reps. Ro Khanna (CA-17), Don Beyer (VA-08), and Maggie Goodlander (NH-02), which would have repealed the tariffs on coffee.\n\n\u201cFamilies across America are feeling the cost of higher coffee prices, which are already up 21 percent due to the reciprocal tariffs. The U.S. is the largest importer of coffee in the world and relies almost entirely on imports for coffee,\u201d said Rep. Bacon. \u201cTariffing a product we can't grow at a large, commercial scale doesn't make sense and only drives prices higher for consumers. I applaud President Trump and his administration for listening to our concerns and recognizing the harm these tariffs were causing. I hope this marks the beginning of the administration reversing course on these harmful tariffs.\u201d\n\n\u201cRepresentative Don Bacon and my efforts are working. We have been calling for coffee tariffs to be repealed and introduced our bipartisan bill. Increasing prices for small businesses and coffee drinkers makes no economic sense,\u201d said Rep. Khanna\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bacon.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2814"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8956738747656345, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
