Don’t you understand that the reason they put tariffs on it is that imported Italian pasta was cheaper than American homemade pasta? It’s in the freaking post. They are putting tariffs on the cheap Italian pasta to make it more expensive so the more expensive American pasta can outcompete it.
Don’t you understand that most of the store brand pasta is actually made in Italy and imported by the store because that’s cheaper than to contract an actual American company?






Most Americans will keep buying the same store brand pasta and will complain when the price goes up because either they had to swap to a more expensive American company or will transfer the tariff cost to the consumer. And you wonder why the American company is more expensive? Because if it wasn’t the store brands would already work with them, and as stablished, they are putting tariffs on Italian pasta because it outcompetes American pasta companies.
