A more than 100% proposed import tax on Italian pasta could cost American consumers.
It is not going into effect just yet, but local Italian restaurants are figuring out ways to reduce the heat from the tariff.
Italian restaurants on Federal Hill, Rhode Island’s “Little Italy,” take up more than 65% of the neighborhood.

I just want pasta that is not loaded with chemicals!
I guess organic is a threat to America! Maybe we can learn to eat petroleum based foods!
Rump definitely deserves a Nobel for this goof up
if I'm going to a fancy Italian restaurant they better be making that pasta fresh.
Well I'm glad I could make it from scratch screw that lol
What does Trump have against Italians?
Barill is made in the USA
Hope any that have to use imported dried noodles instead of fresh made close down then lol
Sadness at this news. We Americans need to eat healthier. We don't need high, unfair tariffs.
