Given that he wants to tariff everything coming in - Isn't this going to make a can of coca cola a lot more expensive? Not to mention further hurt American farmers that can't sell as much of their corn for corn syrup?

How Much Sugar Does the US Consume Each Year?

The average American consumes about 152 lbs of sugar each year, which is quite an increase from the 1970’s statistic of 123 lbs per year. It is advised to consume 10% of our calories from sugar, yet the current average is about three times over the suggested daily amount. The typical American consumes more than twice the average sugar intake of the 54 countries studied.

America must import about 3 million metric tons of sugar yearly to meet the demand for consumption. In 2019/2020, there was an all-time high amount imported at 3.38 million metric tons of sugar.
