Recently, US President donald trump placed high tariffs on over 60 nations, including india and other important trading partners. A report claims that in addition to hurting the world economy, Trump's reciprocal tariff policy will also hurt the typical American consumer, with GDP growth probably being slowed and inflation predicted to increase by 5%.
 
The united states, the greatest economy in the world, imports food products from nearly every country in the globe, and the American market is heavily reliant on these imports, according to a report by the Switzerland-based UBS Group. The majority of food imports into the US come from canada and mexico, two nearby countries that are not subject to Trump's outrageous new tariffs.  Canada is the third-largest trading partner of the united states, after Mexico.
 
Here's what the US imports from various countries across the globe;
•  According to details, the US imports mushrooms, beef, pork, fish, lobster, crabs, canola oil, wheat, corn, oats, barley, and maple syrup from its neighbor Canada.
• mexico is the top exporter of key items to the US, like tomatoes, avocados, capsicum, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries, cucumbers, broccoli, watermelons, mangoes, asparagus, lemons, onions, spinach, lettuce, walnuts, and sugar.
•  China, once the largest trading partner of Washington, exports apple juice and frozen fish to the United States.
•  Grapes and poultry are imported from Chile, while raw coffee comes from Colombia.
•  Lamb meat in the US comes from Australia, and orange juice is imported from Brazil, which has been hit with 10% tariffs.
•  Notably, even drinking water in the US is imported from Fiji.
•  Similarly, costa rica is the largest supplier of pineapple to the US, while coffee beans come from the Ivory Coast.
•  Bananas and watermelon come from Guatemala, while indonesia exports palm oil and cocoa butter.

The United States' top supplier of lobsters is India.  In the fiscal year 2023–2024, the united states imported 2,97,571 metric tonnes of frozen shrimp from india, according to official government data. During this time, india exported 17,81,602 metric tonnes of seafood valued at Rs 60,523.89 crore, setting a new record for the nation.
