There has recently been an interesting and light but important debate in the American parliament. Penessor of Pennsylvania, Medeg member of Pennsylvania, asked Howard Lutnik, Secretary of Trade,: ‘How much is there on banana? Americans really like bananas. Lutnik replied that ‘usually is 10 percent’. To this, Dean said that ‘Walmart had already increased the price of Banana by 8 percent’. Lutnik has made it clear that if the product is manufactured in America, there is no tariff on it. But Dean immediately satirized that ‘but we cannot cultivate bananas in America’. The conversation in this funny way actually drew attention to a serious matter that is due to the impact of rates on imported goods and rising inflation. The impact of inflation and rates is constantly increasing the burden of inflation on US consumers. Especially such fruits and foods, which are completely dependent on imports, are increasing their prices quickly. Bananas are the latest example of this. Large retailers like Walmart have already raised prices, and this directly affects the bags of the consumer. The challenge of dependence on imports is not possible due to climate and soil cultivation of many crops such as bananas in America. In such a situation, their entire stock must be imported from other countries. If rates are applied to it, prices automatically increase. Both political and economic debates, this issue has also brought an interesting turn to American politics. While the leaders lightly argue lightly, economic experts on the other hand warn that if the tariff policy does not change, inflation can increase even more.
