I just find it ironic and funny they are going after their own.

Amazon deforestation is driven by U.S. ethanol subsidies which take excellent farmland out of food production to make crap gas, and causing demand for soybeans and food corn to chew up millions of new acres of rainforest.

There's increasing archaeological evidence that the Amazon basin was densely populated with much of the rainforest cut down before the Europeans arrived.

European diseases wiped out about 90% of the local population and the once farmed land reverted to rainforest.

Strangely, there seems to have been no climate or massive ecological effects. /s

President Trump is doing his part for the environment by placing heavy tariffs on Brazilian coffee!

Why are coffee costs going up if the supply is expanding faster than the demand?

For a comparison of scale, 1.8 million acres is a bit smaller than Connecticut, or not quite the size of two Rhode Islands.

Brazil = 500 > 1000 Rhode Islands.

FWIW. Not much.

Wait—they are growing coffee in Brazil and not just in Colombia? Juan Valdez has competition.
