Could be just aluminum for the cans, doesnt have to be that they are importing anything just that suppliers are.
I don't exempt a company from doing something if their supplier does it. They're at least complicit.
Complicit in... Importing goods that aren't made in the US or have a substantially more limited supply?
What are you saying they are complicit in here, trade with other companies?
The practices and policies of their suppliers. If the supply is limited, let it be limited.
The practices of buying goods for production? That some resources (aluminum) exist in other parts of the world? That others (tea) are better produced in a different climate?
What the hell are you even talking about?
Edit: Just to be clear here - this is a manufactured problem by the POTUS. There is absolutely no reason for the tariffs other than a complete lack of understanding of basic economics. Capitalism (especially effectively unregulated as it is now) is atrocious, but this isn't an example of capitalism being a problem (well aside from it being used as an excuse to raise prices).
This is just stupid policies being enacted. Its a tax on Americans and nothing else. This is just as insanely idiotic as slashing a bunch of programs that idiots dont bother to understand, which either are a net benefit for the US or an extremely cheap global benefit, whether humanitarian or economic.
Short answer: the people in charge are ignorant and destructive.
