Tariffs on Chicken Feet?? At present, we are diving up and down economically, As a result of the singular thinking of our second-time repeat leader. Our farmers depend on a world trade which maintains stability. Meddling too much in that agricultural trade-stability Results in unstable pricing and loss of markets to other countries. Well, ok, but how do chicken feet fit in to all this chaos? Tariffs on chicken meat are clearly understood, But with this meat are feet--attached thereto! One country only, which consumes and adores these is China. Even in our own country, chicken feet are slipped in via their restaurants. Ironic, that our chief tariff competitor is China, The very major consumer and importer of our chicken feet! Frank Maurer 10 April 2025 1000 Hours.
