Sensators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nevada) and Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) introduced the "No Coffee Tax Act" to repeal Donald Trump-era tariffs on coffee.
The bill aims to prevent future administrations from taxing coffee imports and is joined by a companion measure in the House by Reps. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska) and Ro Khanna (D-California).
Coffee remains a weak point in the Trump tariff agenda, underscoring the limits of protectionism when applied to goods the United States cannot produce at scale.
